Time has passed by and nobody claimed as his/hers this model that I believe to be of mine... so, also because I've been requested, I decided to publish the CP.... I'm not sure it is correctly drawn so please... just give it a check... improvements are welcome. This model is licensed under CC and I don't mind if you make money folding and selling it (good for you! It is perfect for birth party.... Christenings, pregnacy party if anybody does etc etc....)
BUT PLEASE if you ever use it in pubblic just do not forget the attribution and if you ever make a variation of it, publish it under the same CC or you'll have seven years of bad luck :-))))

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN--Gorgeous G-plan nesting tables from the UK, all teak, with a slightly chunky, exaggerated effect. These three simple shapes could add mid-century modern and a focal point to your living room.
Biggest 53x43cm, height 49cm
With plumage like that, perhaps this bird should be called a “showy” egret.

of the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area in Idaho, where as many as 800 pairs of raptors, including 12 species nest. At least 240 species of birds use the area along the Snake River.
My visit there was brief and all was quiet. I saw several kinds of hawks or falcons but they stayed out of my focal range. Some flew along carrying Paiute ground squirrels which are their favorite prey. I assume they were taking dinner to their young.
I would love to go back for the fall migration. Here is an Audubon article about the area: www.audubon.org/important-bird-areas/snake-river-birds-pr....

Well, here it is. Yet another headshot. I'm getting a little more creative, luckily. Got to meet up with AngeLeah Viol today and take her picture though! It was great!
These two Jackdaws weren't really sure on what they were doing.
The one on the left with the big stick eventually dropped it over the edge and watched it fall..strange..
Dorothy Rosenberg Memorial Park in El Cerrito.
The city's newest park, but not yet open to the general public.
Found this Broad-tailed Hummingbird nesting in a Bougainvillea, inside a friends courtyard, west of Tucson Arizona . She was more than patient with me while I got up close and took several angles.
A nesting box just behind my house. And a stone cat, and rocks hanging in the tree.
A mysterious place.

The secretarybird or secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) is a very large, mostly terrestrial bird of prey. Endemic to Africa, it is usually found in the open grasslands and savannah of the sub-Saharan region. Although a member of the order Accipitriformes, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, buzzards, vultures, and harriers, it is given its own family, Sagittariidae.
Nests are built at a height of 5–7 m (15–20 feet) on Acacia trees. Both the male and female visit the nest site for almost half a year before egg laying takes place. The nest is around 2.5 m (eight feet) wide and 30 cm (one foot) deep, and is constructed as a relatively flat basin of sticks.
Secretarybirds lay two to three oval, pale-green eggs over the course of two to three days, although the third egg is most often unfertilised.[citation needed] These eggs are incubated primarily by the female for 45 days until they hatch. The secretarybirds are facultatively fratricidal.[27] There are conflicting opinions on this phenomenon also called cainism—"No evidence [exist] of sibling aggression, but youngest in brood of 3 almost always dies of starvation..."[28]

A special "Thank You" to a Flickr friend Matt for putting us on this nest. When we arrived one of them was sitting and sitting and sitting. Fun but pretty much the same pose time and time again. I played with shutter speeds etc. RA got bored so headed down the lake a couple hundred yards and found some Mallards and Geese. I hung around waiting for something to happen. 30 minutes or so I couldnt see RA so headed her direction to make sure all was well. I got about 50 yards from her and the ducks and geese all took off raising cane. I looked up and sure enough a Bald Eagle was coming down the lake. The other Loon was well out on the lake and he started sounding off as the eagle came. The eagle took a dip at the loon but poof and it was under water. Then the bird at the nest started sounding off. I was 150 yards or so from where I could see the nest. Tripod over the shoulder and running as fast as I could go back to where I could see fearing that the eagle was in the nest eating the eggs. Yes they do that. I got there fairly quickly for an old guy. The loon was off the nest but the eagle wasnt. Of course I started shooting fast. The nest bird had come about a third closer. As I was shooting I realized RA was shooting a bit more down the lake. Ah Ha the other loon was coming. I shot a few more and (get ready for this) I pulled my 7D off the lens and put RA's camera on and lowered the pod so she could see. She shot a bunch in just a couple minutes.
The two loons traded jobs and a fresh belly went on the eggs and the sitter went fishing. Great Fun we had.
Thanks Again Matt

This little rascal kept uprooting vegetation and taking it underground to a burrow. I wonder if babies are on the way.

While walking along a river bank I happen to come across this nicely camouflaged duck nesting inside the hollow trunk of a tree. She didn’t seem to mind the crowd and the music being played by a band nearby. Not many people actually noticed her. A couple came by to look at what I was shooting and was pleasantly surprised to see the duck.
This is an addition to the Jaipur set. Looks very similar to the chipmunks we have in North America, though I don't know what species this actually is. Is this nesting material or is she rushing home to try on a new dress??
