Last full day in Corolla NC I was able to view about 5 different osprey nest while walking along the waters edge.

It must be Love?

The hawk really worked hard at pulling the vine loose, but I don't think it succeeded. I haven't seen either hawk again today. I'm still watching the nest. (Poor quality image. The light was terrible.)

Spent a bit of my daily walk on the town Jackdaws this morning

We spotted this Killdeer nest in the open, on a gravel mound. The nest blended marvelously into its surroundings. Furthermore, the speckled eggs themselves looked like well placed stones. Killdeer are very tolerant of humans, as we discovered, by the way it just sat on its nest despite our picture taking. The eggs are incubated for 24-28 days.

Nesting Ospreys at EB Forsythe NWR.

In total I saw 8 separate active osprey nests and at least 14 ospreys on the salt marshes. There should be a bumper crop of ospreys this year.

Beloved Bluebird......I can hardly wait until Spring and the promise of new nests and young.

Even though it seems to be very early to start building nests, a few eagles at Conowingo were working intently in gather sticks apparently for nests.

It is interesting to see how this large stick actually interfered with the wing feathers at it flew
