LOOKING for feedback... which crop appeals to you more?
This is the same sandhill crane ruffled feathers as last post.
This Western Kingbird and its partner have created a nesting site on a pole between some electrical boxes. Since the area is all fenced in they should be safe from two legged predators unless someone comes to service the boxes.
So far they are very diligent against winged predators.
I have been watching this Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) nest ever since I found the scrape on June 18. There are now four eggs in the nest. This means they will hatch on or about July 10 plus minus 1 or so. I will monitor the nest as nothing is cuter that Killdeer chicks huddled under mother. The nest is in a dirt road in Jackson County, Colorado.
Sunday I went to Kohler-Andrae State Park and came across a number of nesting Canada geese couples settling in.
Palmyra Cove Nature Park - www.palmyracove.org/ is 250 acres of green in a highly developed area on the Delaware River just south of the Tacony Palmyra Bridge. With its woodlands, wetlands, tidal cove and wild river shore line, PCNP serves as an important feeding site for migratory birds.

Today felt like summer here in Edmonton. The perfect day to visit Elk Island National Park. The trees were beautifully green, the wildflowers were in bloom, and I was lucky enough to capture some of the wildlife that call the park home.
of Canada Geese. With Spring comes nesting Season. These two Geese were looking for just the right spot to start building there nest on the river.

Anna's Hummingbird sitting on her nest made of bits of bark, leaves, moss and held together by spider's filament.
Two spoonbills defending their nesting ground from the egret showing full breeding plumage.
The Roseate Spoonbill is 80 cm (31 in) tall, with a 120–130 cm (47–51 in) wingspan. It has long legs, a long neck, and a long, spatulate bill. Adults have a bare greenish head ("golden buff" when breeding[3]) and a white neck, back, and breast (with a tuft of pink feathers in the center when breeding), and are otherwise a deep pink. The bill is grey
I promised myself last week I wouldn't post anymore Norfolk coast pictures, but I can't resist this last one. I hope it conveys why a bird might find such a habitat so inviting - but, be rest assured, I'm not trying to suggest our feathered friends see colour like this!
I hope you like it!

Further along the coast this morning I spotted these Linnets gathering feathers presumably for nesting material. Weather change making them do an early start
Each year bluetits come to nest in this oversized box. Last year the nest failed due to a very wet spring. Fingers crossed for this year.

These Cape Cormorants were also in breeding mode at Stony Point (Betty's Bay), with lots of nest material offerings happening. They are such stunning birds, it is a pity about the harsh light which doesn't do them justice. It was also extremely windy the day we were there - knowing the Western Cape it probably often is like that - making it a struggle to keep the big lens pointing in the right direction. The good thing about the wind was it kept the smell down to bearable proportions.

Long Tailed Tit with spiders web.
The sticky silk is perfect for holding moss, lichen and other nesting material together.
Spicer Reservoir, Stanislaus National Forest, California
I took this 2 weeks ago on a kayaking trip in the mountains. They were beautiful guarding their nest together. :-)
Blue Tit taking nesting material in and out of my garden nest box. I only put this box up a few weeks ago so I'm delighted that a pair have moved in.
