Rare for Florida, a yellow headed blackbird at the beach on the Gulf. He caused quite a sensation with the local birders and photographers as this species is usually not found in Florida. He seemed content browsing through the vegetation and sea oats at the beach

Warning: long post!

Nesting process of a male Golden-backed weaver (external link)

1. Carefully selects a perfect location which is near to school, supermarket and transportation

IMAGE: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52879533104_cf33f84d7a_h.jpg

2. Sets the foundation for a cozy home. He begins the intricate process of weaving the first string of its nest, which will serve as the cornerstone for a safe and snug abode.

IMAGE: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52879747510_0ec851dc91_h.jpg
3. Some more

IMAGE: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52879369531_97628cc385_h.jpg

4. Building the perfect fit.
He constructs the first framework of its nest, starting with a carefully woven ring. The size of the ring is a key indicator of the bird's desired home size and sets the stage for the rest of the nest-building process.

IMAGE: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52879533144_a32a8bb0ae_h.jpg

5.Quality assurance check!
He conducts strength tests on its nest anytime, ensuring that it's sturdy enough to withstand the weight of eggs and chicks.

IMAGE: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52879533199_f310744e84_h.jpg

6.Taking shape!
His nest is starting to take on its distinctive shape. It's amazing to see how the nest gradually transforms from a simple ring to a complex structure.

IMAGE: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52879369561_d38f966088_h.jpg

Above: It's hard to believe, but this complex nest is the result of just two hours of tireless work by the Asian golden-backed weaver.

7. Welcome to the city of weavers!

To think another way....there's always another way.

What a nicely done series of the Golden-backed weavers constructing their amazing nests from start to finish, RAL! Very interesting!

A couple of common local doves at Rapid Creek this morning.
1. Bar-shouldered Dove
2. Peaceful Dove

You capture both the Bar-shouldered Dove and the Peaceful Dove beautifully, Pippan! These are amazingly attractive birds.

Very nicely captured shot of the Dickcissel, Bill! Tack sharp and the low camera angle is really nice.

Beautifully composed shot of the European Starling, aezoss! You captured his often missed beautiful colors very nicely.

Striking shot of the Reddish Egret, Ed! Very appealing capture.

Two excellent captures of the Reddish Egrets, Kirk! I've said it before...the reddish egrets are the most attractive of the egrets in my opinion.

Terrific capture of the Leaden flycatcher, Pippan! Very nice, sharp image.
