This is a nesting box right by our patio and I must have missed the laying of the eggs. I have watched the male and female flying in and out with worms so assume the eggs have hatched. I have not heard any peeps yet, but will keep you posted:) The brown thrashers have young ones peeping in a bush down a bit and the mockingbirds too. I love watching the birds this time of year.
No trip to Knepp Wildlands in the spring would be complete without seeing the White Storks on their nests. There are at least 5 breeding pairs on the estate this year including this one which is where the first pair bred a a couple of years ago. If you've never been before its well worth a visit, the habitat for birds is amazing.

To take a good photo of this unexpected visitor, I climbed onto the roof of my room, balancing precariously on tiles made slippery by the rain. He was kind enough to wait for me, especially while he was attacked by hummingbirds that were nesting near his perch.
Pour prendre une bonne photo de ce visiteur inattendu, je suis monté sur le toit de ma chambre, en équilibre précaire sur des tuiles rendues glissantes par la pluie. Il a eu la gentillesse de m'attendre, alors qu'il était attaqué et harcelé par des colibris qui nichaient près de son perchoir.

I know, another dandelion seedhead :) But I can't stop photographing them, and thought I'd try this one in black and white, something I rarely do.
Best viewed large!

Spring is here. A Magpie is working hard to collect nesting materials. ln the right light the feather of the Magpies will appear blue. Also, the nictitating membrane will appear kind of blue.

I went back to check on the nesting eagles...no sign of the eaglets but saw tip of a white head so knew one or more parents were there. As I took photos of the head tip, the adult started to fly....camera in right place at right time, wind blowing the leaves aside so I could get some good shots, a thrill.
I'll have to go back when the young are starting to fledge...maybe I'll get lucky again.
...interesting observation; the neighbors are so accustomed to them they don't pay any attention.
Enjoy the weekend, flickr friends....thanks for your visit...Pat...xo...

As I watched I saw the Raccoon make several attempts at her eggs. In the end this protective Eagle, defended her nest. The DNR images are fun to watch.
Eagles can normally lay 2 to 3 eggs several days apart.

Nesting on the Vic Uni Pond. Not so easy to see the nest this year.
We are having major internet problems, I don't even know if these images will upload. It will take me some time to catch up with your images. That will be after our ISP fixes the problem, it has been four hours thus far.
Mom is so proud of her nesting family as they grow more and more each day. This one young chick is trying hard to find room enough to stretch his or her wings in such a confined nest.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul....Darrell.
Have a safe and sweet day dear flickr friends.
Thank you to everyone for your visits to my photo-stream....very much appreciated !

Anhinga's are one of my favorite birds. Their behavior always entertains. From the way they fish, feed their young, land and greet their mate when arriving at the nest. Here's one taken under good light bringing some nesting material home from a nearby tree.
This Ground Pigeon at the Maharajah Jungle Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom is nesting while keeping a careful watch on all the visitors entering the area.
From a bird feeder in the backyard. There are 4 little blue eggs and so far 2 or 3 hatchlings! Roanoke Virginia. Photo taken with remote controlled shutter, while hiding behind a window so the bird is not disturbed while feeding the hatchlings.

On a beautiful evening - we were moving slowly in an open Jeep in the park scanning for birds ... we came across this magnificent ... perched on a tree, at a touching distance. and literally not bothered of our presences ....
We were there for about 30 min, watching him and others close by. later slowly moved away.
but he was still enjoying his seat..! 🐾
WONDERFUL FACTS: The osprey or more specifically the western osprey (Pandion haliaetus) - also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk - is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant. (wikipedia)
