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.
The Black-legged kittiwake, to give it its proper name, (Rissa tridactyla),Breed on cliffs in the summer months and spend the rest of their time at sea on the Atlantic.

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!
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 !

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!!
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.
