My little nymph prefers to sleep outside in an old bird nest then inside in a warm blanket. I'm always finding her hiding in the bushes or playing in the rain. I swear she just tolerates living with me. :I

El Queltehue es una de las aves más comunes del territorio chileno y uno de los habitantes característicos de los campos y terrenos húmedos, también se le puede encontrar en ciudades: en prados, parques y jardines abiertos. Perfecto centinela de día y de noche, está siempre muy atento a cualquier asomo de peligro, lanzando de inmediato un grito metálico estridente que alerta no sólo a otros de su especie, sino a todo el entorno.
Nombres locales
Queltehue (zona central), Treile (zona sur), Tero (zona austral), Tregle, Teru-Teru.
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.
Double-crested Cormorant attempted several times to get off the ground with this stick, however was unsuccessful, and ended up dropping the stick into the water.
Here we go again!

Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)
Emigrant Creek Road - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Grasslands
Food : Insects
Nesting : Ground
Behavior : Ground Forager
Conservation : Low Concern
"A shorebird you can see without going to the beach, Killdeer are graceful plovers common to lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, and parking lots. These tawny birds run across the ground in spurts, stopping with a jolt every so often to check their progress, or to see if they’ve startled up any insect prey. Their voice, a far-carrying, excited kill-deer, is a common sound even after dark, often given in flight as the bird circles overhead on slender wings... The Killdeer’s broken-wing act leads predators away from a nest, but doesn’t keep cows or horses from stepping on eggs. To guard against large hoofed animals, the Killdeer uses a quite different display, fluffing itself up, displaying its tail over its head, and running at the beast to attempt to make it change its path."

I shot this as practice for my upcoming wildlife photography trip. It's amazing how unsharp my pictures of Cormorants appear to me even when they're in focus.
We have bluebirds nesting next to our veggie beds. I got lucky today and spotted one of the babies just as it was leaving the nest. Had the 300 zoom on the Canon and got Paul to pop open the window. Propped the lens on my splinted broken wrist and managed a few shots before the baby flew away. It was so tiny and fluffy that I didn’t think it was ready to fly but it managed just fine

Another installment in my nesting birds of Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge series.
From the Cornell Lab: "Killdeer nests are simple scrapes often placed on slight rises in their open habitats. Killdeer may make several scrapes not far away from each other before choosing one to lay in. The duplication may help to confuse predators.
Nest is a shallow depression scratched into the bare ground, typically 3-3.5 inches across.
Lovely bird nesting on the ponds @ Keston woodland area in autumn..A familiar black bird of our lakes, ponds and rivers, the Coot is widespread; look out for its large and untidy-looking nest on the water in spring. The Coot can be distinguished from the similar Moorhen by its white beak and 'shield', and its entirely black body.
This is a white-naped crane sitting on a nest which at the time was still work in progress. I took this photo at our zoo several weeks ago and as I have had no time for zoo visitis lately, I don't know if the nest looks better now. Hopefully I will be able to find that out in the near future.
This Bird can be seen Mainly on freshwater lakes, gravel pits, reservoirs, rivers and town park lakes when deep enough. Sometimes seen offshore, especially in winter if freshwater areas are frozen.,This one was seen on the lake at Hulls East Park,
Mono Lake is a critical nesting habitat hosting over 2,000,000 waterbirds, including 35 species of shorebirds, use Mono Lake to rest and eat for at least part of the year.
I had no idea that herons nested so high up in trees! A pretty rubbish shot but the best angle I could obtain
nesting female blackbird
Blackbirds build a nest in a safe place in April or May. Dense shrubs and hedges are also important for this. The parents weave a neat nest of twigs together and finish it with mud and grass. A clutch usually contains four or five eggs. The light, green-blue tint is characteristic, as are the brown dots. The incubation period is short: the chicks hatch from the egg after two weeks. You often see parents flying back and forth with their beaks full. What do blackbird chicks eat? They prefer protein-rich food such as worms and insects to grow quickly.
So far this Friday morning my first ten minutes on Flickr have been shit. Almost like these dolls we are getting smaller and smaller.
Bad gateways. Looks like you don't follow anyone with photos (that one is funny) Slow to comment on two images. No stream loading.
Great move guys
Something a little bit different.
Matryoshka dolls have always been a curiosity for me. I do not know why. I just find them interesting.
There is supposed to be another one inside the tiniest one there.
THAT! is amazing!
Happy Wednesday
evidently, you can never have enough!
I FINALLY decided to leave the apt. yesterday! After almost a week of being locked in a room with a bunch of kittens and a crazed Labrador Retriever, I figured I should maybe get out and get some fresh air, so Pearl and I went bird hunting.
She slept in the backseat while I rode around looking for potential models.
First stop was the osprey nest to see how things are faring.
I was just in time to see Abby returning with a talon full of grass.
