Out of respect for the eagles nesting this spring I waited till now to post images. County of Sturgeon Alberta.

This is a nesting Mourning Dove (I'm pretty sure). The mourning dove is one of the most common birds in the United States, with a population estimated to be 350 million (there are only 331 million humans in the United States). The oldest recorded mourning dove lived over 30 years (it was banded in 1968 and taken out by a hunter in 1998, so it didn't even die of natural causes). All my fun facts come from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology web site.
Great Crested Flycatcher female, Suamico, Wisconsin USA
This Great Crested Flycatcher pair took up nesting residence in a Wood Duck nest box after a Merganser hen had hatched and fledged her brood.
The pair that are hanging around my nesting box. I am not sure if they have babes yet. I think they are just getting the next ready. In this image you can see that the female has a bit of blue on her tail feathers, where the male is such a neon....vibrant blue. They both are SO gorgeous!!! They fly so swiftly and look like they are going to crash against the box, but instead land on the side and hang on with those little claws. Very cool to watch!!!
Have a great week ahead and be well.
Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
I hadn't been past the Vic Uni Pond since last Wednesday. This morning I found one of the adults apparently sitting on a new nest. I will have to keep an eye on them.
I was amazed to see that our pair of swans at a local country park have built their nest this year right next to the footbridge near the play area. The female seemed quite undisturbed by the nearby noise or me and my camera as I lay sprawled on the bridge. It was impossible to get wider angles as I was shooting through the fence and only had my 100mm lens. What a treat to be so close to such beauty in the warm light just before sunset.
Managed to capture a couple of images of this tiny Spotted Pardalote gathering some nesting material this morning.
He was quite active and fortunately for me, kept returning back to the same tree to gather more bark and material for the nest.
Hope you like this!!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - most appreciated!!
Hope you all have a fantastic day and week!!
Magpie Lark (Grallina cyanoleuca) male
Lovely to see Dad sitting on the nest outside the Werribee Mercy Hospital.
We came across two Robins the other day, at Lackford Lakes, a Suffolk Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve. One, the female, was collecting nesting material and the other one, a male presumably, was singing for a mate.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

I've had places I called home in SL before, but... the truth is, I was just being allowed to live in someone else's home.
Not this time. We chose the land together, picked the house together, and furnished and decorated it together. It's not the way someone else wants it; it's not even the way I want it. It's the way we want it.
This is our home.
