Well the this pair of Ospreys have come together for the season. Time to repair there nest from all the winter storms. Once all the repairs have been made and the female is satisfied she will lay her eggs and begin with her mate to raise a new family.

A Razorbill (Alca torda) nesting on a single rock in the cliffs outside of the ferry harbor of Vestmannaeyjar or Westman Islands of Iceland. Razorbills mate for life. They come ashore only to lay a single egg and rear a single chick, then spend the rest of the year at sea.
On our way to my friend's sister's house in Sudbury we stopped to see if we could find the swans on the river. They weren't in their usual place but we eventually found them. They have chosen a very unusual place to build a nest, which I will reveal tomorrow.

Every year in June/July the Openbill storks come to Raigang Kulik Bird Sanctuary in hundreds for nesting
Observed this nuthatch for a good while today going back and forth from it's nesting hole. It kept coming back with mud to line the entrance with
I spruced up the nesting bowls I had painted using nail art stickers. I would like to find something shaped like the vintage pyrex dishes with the snowflakes and repaint it. When I don't want the snowflakes to show, I can just turn them around.
Congrats to the Ithaca, NY cliff nesting Red-tailed Hawk family for two brand new arrivals! I posted a photo of the nest with two eggs a couple of weeks ago. Today I was back out there to see that the two babies had hatched within the last few days. In this image the male is arriving with a chipmunk to feed his brood. The adult male spends his days hunting to feed his family. And the mother protects does the feeding. They will also swap nesting responsibilities. But from my observations of this family in 2015, it's mostly the male who does the hunting. Hawks mate for life and these hawks have been making their home on an Ithaca, NY cliff above Fall Creek for the past few years. We are very lucky to have the opportunity to observe this family from a bridge at a safe distance so that we do not interfere with their nest. April 24, 2016
Please note that a Red-tailed Hawk will quickly kill is prey after capture. And it would never transport a live animal into the nest.

Shooting without a tripod these days gets me shaky results. But this is still an announcement of Spring is on the way. By the end of July this 5 inch ball of cotton fluff is a 2" ball. The birds love it, makes for a nice cozy nest.
Nesting generally occurs in a tree overhanging the water. The male starts building the nest before he
meets his mate. He gathers sticks and vegetation and places them in a tree. Once he has chosen a
mate, the female will finish the nest. Both parents incubate the eggs, usually from three to six, which
will hatch in about 30 days. When the chicks are born, they are blind with no feathers. After about six
weeks, they begin to grow feathers and then venture out on their own.
Found this nest at the Gatorland Rookery.

Hundreds, maybe thousands, of egrets and herons have returned to St Andrews State Park - Panama City Beach, Florida. They pose...preen...and strut...
Ospreys construct massive nests of large branches, on the tops of tall trees, usually very close to water. This picture shows the female on the nest. Male and female osprey are very similar in coloration, but the female's brownish "necklace" is more distinct (compare to the earlier post of the male osprey).
Seen in J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA.
Late afternoon Dermakot. It had rained all afternoon and was stil raining. Our guide Siti spotted a nest with a little tuft of orange sticking out. We waited for the occupants to hopefully stir. Shortly after the heavens opened and mom built a cover for the nest.

I was taking pictures of the maned wolf (in the shade), and looked up to see this hawk... without time to make all of the adjustments to my camera settings, I shot and got this. This is one of a breeding pair that was building a nest in a nearby palm. This was the only (mostly) unobscured flight shot I was able to get.
