Near our hotel on Waitangi, there is a 4-km. track that runs between the Waitangi Treaty House Reserve and Haruru Falls. After a bend in the track, we came on a tree filled with nesting Little Pied Cormorants, or shags.
Hey everyone! I hope your week has gotten off to a good start! As with many of nature's moments that I capture but not fully understand, I don't profess to know what's really going on here...I do know it's time for herons to start building nests but I'm assuming this is an osprey nest, perhaps abandoned...this heron spent the afternoon rearranging sticks and limbs as if it were making itself at home...I wonder if Mr. Osprey showed up after I left, to evict this possible homesteader? I may have missed an interesting encounter...LOL If anyone more familiar with the nesting habits of herons can elaborate on this scene, it would greatly appreciated!

Phantom Lake
You are driving on the dike which was constructed to create Phantom Lake. This flowage is an important nesting area for the local flock of Canada geese. In the spring and summer many goose broods use the dike as a loafing area.
This basin contained many trees when it was flooded in 1954. Soon after flooding, herons and cormorants began nesting in the water-killed trees. The heron-cormorant colony was active from 1957 until 1981 and at one time contained over two-hundred active nests. The colony declined over the years as the nest trees were knocked down by wind and wave action. The birds have since established colonies on other flowages. The few remaining trees are favorite perches for eagles, ospreys, cormorants, and other birds.
Several osprey nest platforms have been erected in the flowage and are used by two or three pairs of ospreys each year. See if you can find the active nests.
Blue herons are nesting in this old cottonwood tree so I had a blind nearby, suddenly movement caught my eye when what I believe is a horned owl or merlin flew into a hole in the side of the tree. I took a shot simply so I could zoom in to see anything, I was surprized to see what appears to be one of her eggs. Note her tail feathers sticking out the hole. I'll have to keep a lookout here for youngsters !

Robin nesting on top of the electric meter. There are trees and shrubs all over the place but she picks here to build a nest.
Set of 5 nesting boxes, old, dovetailed joints and painted or decaled figures on each side of each box.
Ever since the sun came out a couple days ago, my brains sorta drained away with the melting snow and all I can think of is staying warm and cozy in my nest. Baileys [check], Vov [check], christmas candies and panettone [check, check] and a ton of cheese and salami [staples so never need to worry about checking].
