Little Bird’s Nest

 

I watched this little bird’s nest all bow/gun season of 2020.  It was in a large bush right outside my blind.   I never seen any bird movement near it, but I was able to catch a picture in March 2021.  Its a cute little nest…looks well built….some little birdie worked real hard to build it.  I wanted to get a better look, but I decided to let it free of human touch.

 

Bald Eagle

There is an Bald Eagles nest across the river from our property.  Its been there for years. I check in and out from time to time when in the area.

This time the Eagle was there, it was active due to my unwanted presence(I didn’t stay long).

Ohhh and it was loud(yup I was getting yelled at too, get OUT)! This is the 1st time in all the years….that I was able to capture some quick pictures! I was pretty impressed.

Plus, I am pretty sure there were eggs in the nest as the Eagle never flew far away and always came back!

I have been using trail camera’s to capture my backyard birds for a few years now.  I had been wanting something that would focus more on the bird than anything.  Marcus had his eye on a new trail camera that had this marco lens.  It went on o sale shortly before Christmas and he nabbed that right up.

I had no idea I was getting this trail camera for Christmas, but I couldn’t be any happier.

Super impressed on the focus of the lens and its clarity.  I have had a many of camera’s on my birds, but this here camera it supreme caliber.

It is a work in progress….as I am trying to figure out the right distance from an object to get the clearest picture.  So stayed turned……

Great Blue Heron!

I find the Great Blue Heron a very mysterious creature as well as very stealthy! Always creeping around looking for something to eat. So sneaky! This is a picture off the Covert Cellular Camera! https://www.covertscoutingcameras.com This trail camera picture come right to my cell phone. Its nice to get real time action, but still be able to pull the SD card and get a clearer version.

Baby Sandhill Crane in my backyard!

Baby Sandhill Crane

I caught this quick picture of a baby sandhill crane in my back yard. They came across the road and ma and pa got separated. I watched as baby and mom went down the field and wondered where pa was, then ma called for him and I look over as pa is flying form the next field to catch up with his family. I am amazed by the magic of GODS creature! I have watched this little since he was a wee baby. I have baby on trail camera a number of times but to look outside the patio door and see this little baby getting bigger is complete amazement. I mean look at those legs do they get any cuter?????

Baby Sand Hill Cranes

I call them Ma and Pa Kettle. They come to our land every year and raise their little family! These pictures are off a trial camera called the Cuddelink. It send pictures to my e-mail every hour. So I am able to see what is going on down on the land hot off the press.

I love this time of year, and seeing all the new arrivals into the animal world!
