I took this early May, and since then she has left the nest, so fingers crossed that I see the parents with their young on the lake the next time I visit YSP. UK. Spring
The woodpecker snag we checked out turned out to have two species nesting in the same snag. Here we see both species ready to deliver food to the young in the nest. The female American Kestrel on the left occupied the topmost cavity in the snag facing away from the Thompson River; while the Lewis's Woodpecker on the right occupied a cavity halfway down the side facing the river. Both are feeding their young grasshoppers. The kestrel would deliver food while we were watching but the woodpecker would not so we did not stay long. Spences Bridge, BC. July 16, 2015.
I was lucky to witness thousands of puffins nesting in the cliffs of Iceland's Tjörnes Peninsula. I had to inch along on my belly through tall grass in an effort to not scare away these skittish birds. I was happy to capture shots like this with a 200mm telephoto lens - and patience! These birds fly away in mid-August and won't return to land until the following spring.

I recently developed six rolls of film that I had shot before going digital.
Will these be my last 35mm photos? Only time will tell.
I found the dry lavandula
I felt the sensation of nesting
I picked up the leaves and the hedera
I reaped the rose fruit
I made the liquidambar leaves branch
I composed the nest
I photographed
And in the end it flew away...
The mountain bluebird nesting in the barn in the Selway Meadow cow camp. Every once and a while he would pose for me.
I have never experienced a time when seagulls were so still and uninterested in humans. I'm used to the hypervigilant "fish and chips" variety. I know they're birds and this is what they are supposed to be doing but I found it remarkable. Also, it wasn't just a bird or two here and there. Most of the seagulls were hunkered down all over the island- on the beach, on the dunes, in tall grasses.

On the foot or so of ground between our deck and the lake - can't get much closer to nature in Spring than that ! :)
Here's hoping for healthy, happy ducklings ...
A normally public area of Wrightsville Beach, this is closed off in the summertime for nesting birds.
