A true test to see if the Nikkor 200-500MM F5.6 is sharp. You can decide for yourself. This bullfrog was nesting in an irrigation ditch not moving a muscle. It gave me the opportunity to photograph his amazing eye.

Rock squirrel gathering nesting material. Leigh and I watched this little beast for 20 minutes. She would run up to an old log next to the trail and stuff as much semi-rotten bark into her mouth as she could, then run down the hill to her nest hole in the ground. Presumably she's getting ready for baby season!
really crappy shots -- but look what we woke up to this morning :) Doves nesting in one of our pirate accoutrements on the back patio! There are a pair of house finches nesting in the palapa just a few feet from this. I can't imagine why birds are nesting at a house with four cats!?
Mama robin decided to build a nest in an odd spot - on a railing of a boardwalk in the middle of a park where a lot of people walk by. Probably kept most of the predators away, though.

Oscar makes his way through some nesting material provided by the staff. His head is inside a small cave created by rocks stacked in his habitat. I thought his tail looked nice with the other texture.
Some of the Cattle Egrets already had chicks but others were still in nest-building mode. Not sure how comfy the nest is going to be with those thorns though.

This is the 3000th photo I have added to Flickr. When I first started posting here, I had no idea just much I would become absolutely passionately into all things photography. Every day is a school day, so I make a point of trying to learn something new about photography every day, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it always turns out to be something that has helped. I hope you enjoy having a look not just at this photo but at all the others going back to the very beginning.
I nearly fell into Scarborough harbour taking this picture so please appreciate these delightful birds!
I had the incredible experience of witnessing thousands of puffins nesting on the cliffs of the Tjornes Peninsula in Iceland. They are pretty skittish, so I found myself inching along on my stomach in an effort to keep them from flying off.
This little female hummingbird (I think she is a black-chinned) was very busy collecting fluff from the dandelions in my yard. One of the reasons I love to leave a few of these plants in my yard, despite their unpopular status as noxious weeds.

The black headed gulls were making a very noisy start to the day in the early morning sun - mating, nesting and roosting.
With this many gulls - there is more guano than in our 2015 Election broadcasts
This is one of the nests I'll be monitoring this year. The female's in the nest now, so hopefully she's started laying eggs. Usually two eggs are layed, a few days apart. Ordinarily this gives one chick a great advantage, and the first hatched often kills the second to ensure its own survival if food supplies are tight. This pair however, has a habit of raising two chicks successfully, and one year I'm told that one year they even raised three. Will be fun to watch.
The Eagle Fest was great fun, a success for the organizers, and pretty good for me as well. Sales were much better than I'd anticipated, I met some interesting people, and made some possibly interesting connections with authors looking for pictures. A fine day altogether. A picture of our display is here.
Lake Renwick Heron Rookery is a unique site in Illinois where great blue herons, great egrets, black-crowned night herons, double-crested cormorants, and cattle egrets nest together. The site includes a 200-acre lake with several small islands used for nesting.

Black Kite (Milvus migrans)
There seem to be newly hatched chicks in there as I observed both parents bringing 'morsels' at regular intervals. Hope to get some shots of the babies too, but will have to wait till they grow up and start peeping out from the nest.
Note : The nest was lit by 'dappled' light filtering through the branches & leaves . . waited till the bird's head/neck was appropriately 'sunlit' and then took the picture.

Steller's jay, in particular. I accidentally scared it off while unloading my luggage. It went back pretty soon though and continued to sit on the eggs. Also saw the other half of the couple coming in and checking on her.

The Australasian gannet (takapu) are usually found in large colonies on offshore island around New Zealand and southern Australia and have been nesting at Cape Kidnappers since the 1870s.
Numbers have steadily increased to 6,500 pairs, which makes it the largest and most accessible mainland colony in the world.
The gannets average lifespan of between 25 to 40 years has a remarkable start. The 16 week old chicks, which have never been airborne before, take on a 2,800 kilometre Tasman Sea crossing. Two to three years later, the young birds return from Australia to undertake tentative mating. However, it is not until they are five years old that they nest in earnest, after which most spend their life around the coastal New Zealand seas
