For two weeks now I have seen pics of an eagle nest not too far from my house.  So the other day I ventured out to find it.  Well I did.  It was great just sitting there watching the female.  She tended to her eggs.  It was interesting watching her.  She did take a lap pretty close to spead her wings.  I am planning on going back to try to catch the male.  At one point when I was watching her and listening.  He was in the area. I heard him call back to her but he never came anywhere that I could see him.  I wish I could have gotten closer. But this was better then nothing.

I was so excited when I found 2 new bird nests in my barn.  One was a martin I think and the other one I didn't see the builders.  The one started out being a mud nest but ended up looking like this

Crazy Nest.

 It is in the middle of the barn and I have to duck to get to the other side to feed.  This particular night I could hear the little guys chirping, since it was so big I couldn't see them like in the past.    

The next one is over the barn door to the corral.  Once I noticed it I ran and got my camera. I walked out in the corral and was trying to take pics when I noticed something strange.  I couldn't figure out what they had used to make the nest it looked like skin of some sort.  Hummm.  I used my long lense and look at what I saw.  These two pics might cause you to jump away from your computer, be careful.

Unwelcome Visitor

Vistor closer

I was disappointed there would be no pictures of baby birds.  The next day when I went in the barn I couldn't hear any chirps in the other nest. Guess he visited the other nest too!!!  

Have a nice afternoon :o)
