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.

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!

It looks as though this greater coucal (centropus sinensis) is about to peck its way into a large fruit. Not true!! The bird was actually gathering nesting material by pulling off individual leaf fibres. Photographed in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand.
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.

Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
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.
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.
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.
Spring captured @ Eagle Lake Regional Park in Hennepin County, central Minnesota. Posed quite patiently for a few minutes time.

While at Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge I was able to photograph different water fowl nest building as they prepare to raise a family. It is busy and noisy in those nesting areas!!
