It's time again for the Lake Waco Bald Eagles to lay and egg or maybe two. I visited their nest today and saw a lot of activity. One of the pair stayed in the nest most of the time I was there, which was several hours. I am hopeful that there is an egg or eggs in the nest. This is a shot of the male leaving the nest.
Hornets starting a nest in the porch to our villa. They were prevented from taking it any further than this, but started another the day we left.

The white-fronted tern is the most common tern on the New Zealand coastline, at times occurring in flocks of many hundreds or even thousands of birds. It is mainly a marine species that is seldom found far from the coast. The name ‘white-fronted’ refers to the ‘frons’ or forehead, where a thin strip of white separates the black cap from the black bill. Most other ‘capped’ terns, including the black-fronted tern, have black caps that reach the bill when in breeding plumage. The scientific name striata refers to the finely-barred (striated) dorsal plumage of recently fledged white-fronted terns, as the original description and name was based on a juvenile bird painted by William Ellis, surgeon’s second mate on the Discovery, on Captain Cook’s third visit to New Zealand - www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz
Passer domesticus, a European import, nesting in Queen Anne.
I love how the female's head is tilted as she looks at me.
Small and flighty. These beautiful birds move so quickly that snapping a good photo takes hours of waiting and a lot of luck.
Stalks come every year to this area in Turkey. They arrive around March time and settle in pairs. The young hatch in May and begin to fly in July. When they have learnt to fly they return to Africa. Storks are migrating birds and the live around 70 years. They follow the same migration pattern every year. This nesting area is right next door to a restaurant - the birds quite literally walk through the restaurant.
Several pairs of Kittiwakes are already on eggs on this most unsuitable nesting place ie the jetty leading to Scarborough Lighthouse and within easy reach of any passerby!!!!!
Seems awfully late for the robins to be nesting, but I've got some babies in a tree in my front yard
