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

If you wish, zoom in to see the raindrops :)
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.
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.
Nesting Territorial Dispute at John Heinz NWR in Philadelphia..
I watched the lower Tree Swallow diligently challenge any bird, not just swallows, even blackbirds that came too close to its nesting hole.

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.
Puffins-DSC_6819 A pair of Puffins sit inside their nest cavity in the cliffs of Ile aux Perroquet in the Mingan Archipelago.
The eagles are busy rebuilding the nest after Hurricane Ian hit the coast of Florida. I am pretty sure this is Harriet.
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.
Shags nesting in Dunbar Harbour The cliffs are covered in the Birds droppings.One bird panting in the the heat of a summers day.
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.
Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 23,000 acres in eastern Washington on the edge of the Columbia River Basin. The Channeled Scablands ecosystem that predominates the Refuge is unique within the National Wildlife Refuge System. Ponderosa pine, wetlands, meadow steppe and riparian habitat dominate the landscape.
The dry summer’s impact to the wetlands and lakes is apparent as is the resulting low number of birds. This dried out wetland dead tree caught my eye for its textures and moss - and also because I hope to see song birds nesting in its nooks and crannies next spring!
