More birds are returning to the Driftless Region. After spending the winter in warmer states, this white-throated sparrow is in a hurry to get back to southern Canada for the nesting season. I expect to see many more white-throated sparrows passing through in the next two weeks.

This snowy egret picked up this rather large stick and is flying it to its nest.

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!!

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.

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.

Nesting GHO's have become an annual event at Brazo Bend, but this year the birds were much lower than in the past few years. It was nice not having the lens pointed straight up. I made it to this nest only a few times, but was happy to get a few keepers and had a great time. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas - 3/2021.

Mated pair of Great Egrets! "necking" is part of their ritual! Who knew!!!

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 saw this Sacred Ibis sitting on the nest last weekend when I took a short walk at a park. It wasn't easy to focus as he or she was partially hidden behind the greenery. Sacred Ibis are a rather rare sight here as they are native to sub-Saharan Africa. In current heat wave they probably feel very much at home here, though.

We went for a drive and stopped off at the Bowral cemetery. We went for a wander looking at the gravestones, trees, flowers and birds. We discovered a noisy miner nest with a pair of adults working hard with three hungry babies to feed. It was a very well constructed nest.

Purple Gallinule, Porphyrio martinica. Sitting in the same place day after day, so maybe nesting.

I resigned from my teaching position this week . . . . try to rescue some of my sanity. I'll make ends meet somehow. Sell marbles, for example.

Thanks for Viewing.
