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.
One of the holy grails for me in Costa Rica was to see Scarlet macaws (Ara macao) in the wild. These beautiful birds mate for life and are almost always seen in pairs. Here a pair are nesting in a tree cavity; if you look closely you can see the female at the bottom of the photo. Osa Peninsula.

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 !
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.
Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire
Sitting on her nest, a Pacific Loon waits patiently for her eggs to hatch. The loons are one of the last migratory birds to arrive in the Arctic and the one of the last to leave. By the time their chicks hatch and fledged, ice will be formed on the ponds. They have a beautiful buff grey head with black body and stripes. They also have a pearl necklace around the base of their neck.
This little Anna's Hummingbird was gathering nesting material in between these reeds. I think I took hundreds of shots before I got this position.
The Eurasian Coots have been very busy for weeks now, building their rather impressive nests.
Not an easy feat, as they build them off shore, in the shallows.
I didn't have my camera with me, but I wanted to capture this lovely scene.
So I've just zoomed in a bit with the phone. Its not great? I think the more modern phones would do better? But not bad for an old phone camera.
Mate 20 pro- Leica lens.

My daughters and I went down along Middle River to visit a little with my sister. Though it was raining when we went to go down, the forecast was for it not too last long.
So took along the new Sony hoping the rain would end and then there might be some seagulls or ducks about to try this new camera and lens with some birds in flight.
Well ... glad that I did. Though the lighting was poor with no sun and clouds filling the sky, behold the eagles that nest down in Wilson Point were gathering some nesting materials. This one came about close enough to start taking some photos, about 1/4 filling the frame.
This is about a 2/3 cropped image (reduced 1/3) from the original, still providing 4,000 pixels in the vertical ... hence this is still more image than I would have had with no cropping of the old 7DM2. Amazing to think about.
The results were not bad here giving the poor light and my first time handling this camera and lens in BIF mode.
View large and zoom in several times ... you can still do that even with this being cropped already to about 2/3 of the original.
Posting my last image of the Daisy gave me a little spring fever. I remembered this photo of the Scrub Jay collecting nesting material. For single-image capture, I will use DxO Pure Raw when there are complex areas, such as the nesting fibers. It will clean the noise without leaving a halo of noise behind. Captured with my Z9 and 70-200mm Z lens at f/2.8
I was glad to see that this swan had returned to the same nesting area.This was a long zoom so quality is not the best.
I watched this female Bullock's Oriole as she pulled and pulled to get a single strand of hair for her nest. I like the way it curled up around her beak.
I've had to look far and wide for signs of Spring recently, but this nesting goose was a great sight to see at Park School yesterday.
