Nesting season continues here in South Florida where most blue herons and white egrets have already fledged for the season. Other birds, like this glossy ibis and wood storks are in the midst of incubating eggs or tending to their hatchlings. It's a great time to get a closer look at these amazingly beautiful descendants of the dinosaurs.

i just like this so much by itself. one of my personal faves as of now. should i keep this up instead?

made a twitter a few days ago, and you can also see a new interview/feature here if youre interested.

A colourful mix of blue, yellow, white and green makes the blue tit one of our most attractive and most recognisable garden visitors.Blue tits nest in crevices in all sorts of surfaces. This includes tree trunks and wallsBlue Tits nested in non-excavated holes with narrow openings, typically in live trees, which reduced both the risk of nest predation and of nest soaking.

A quick record shot when I spotted this Bald Eagle hauling newly cut hay to it's nest. It seems late to be putting a nest together but perhaps the first eggs failed and they are making another try at it.

Just love the walking around. 500mm PF, still hand held.

Did not find a photo of this on Flickr, so I thought I'd share.

Taken this January at the Audubon Rookery in Venice, Florida. Since anhingas do not have water proof feathers, they are often found on a perch drying their wings after diving for prey.

Saw these delightful birds in our garden foraging for nesting material on a chilly pre-spring day.

This bird is nesting inside a multiflora rose bush with a lot of sharp thorns.

What a smart little bird!

Yeah, it was hard getting my little birdie in and out of that nest! Sharp sharp thorns!

..for many days, while Dad stands guard, the Mother duck will hunt for the perfect spot in the marsh for her nest.

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

Baby bunnies, in my urban garden, Toronto

'a new home' make take three or four days to build with spiders silk being the key to holding all those different materials together....their eggs are so tiny that it takes at least one hundred to make an omelet...the largest humming bird lays an egg weighing 1.4 grams (smallest .4) with a large chicken egg weighting forty times that....

The Ruakaka estaury side. DoC only has a small area marked off for the bird nesting.

I heard today that my photo was selected to go in the RSPB 2018 Calendar - over the moon :)
