Great Egret

This chickadee had its eye on a snag that had several potential nesting cavities. Then, another chickadee flew into one of the cavities which made me wonder if they were building a nest. I stayed for a moment to see what would happen, but neither chickdee moved. Not wanting to disturb them, I took off. I returned a few days later, but I didn't see them.

Thank you for viewing and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and week!

Coyote in Yellowstone National Park sitting on a frozen river with some open water. When they see a fish, they start jumping up and down and splashing the water. Don't know if they ever catch a fish, but fun to watch.

Adult female European Robin [Erithacus rubecula]

At The Pixies, yesterday, waiting for a slot to come down and get some nuts/seeds.

It seems that this area is part of the robin’s territory, but the other wee birds are much less timid, and there are many, many more of them. Always great to see this wee sweetie...Maybe, because of all the recent snow, she needs a wee supplement to her insect diet.

I waited patiently (10-15 minutes) for the Great Egret to walk / jump / fly onto the back of the American Alligator, but it didn’t happen. Would have made a great picture. Wildlife photography does teach patience. Riverstone Wetlands, Sugar Land, Texas.

I had 15 that eclosed today... sadly one had to be euthanized... but still waiting for this one to enter the world! I spritzed it with water hoping this would help, but so far, still closed up tightly... which is very strange....

Fingers crossed this one is healthy.... bringing my total to date to: 447

Stone Harbor Point, New Jersey, USA

During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.

Thank you to Aleriah for my nice new jacket!

...for my baby to get home. ♥

So I made this while waiting to smother her in pent up affection.

"If you be the cash,

I'll be the rubber band

You be the match,

I will be a fuse, boom

Painter baby, you could be the muse

I'm the reporter baby, you could be the news

'Cause you're the cigarette and I'm the smoker

We raise a bet, cause you're the joker

Checked off, you are the chalk

And I can be the blackboard

You could be the talk

And I could be the walk

Even when the sky comes falling

Even when the sun don't shine

I got faith in you and I..."

Perché aspetti con impazienza le cose? Se sono inutili per la tua vita, inutile è anche aspettarle. Se sono necessarie, loro verranno e verranno nel momento giusto.

Why do you wait impatiently for things? If they are useless for your life, it is useless to wait for them too. If they are necessary, they will come and come at the right time.
