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.

Very endearing shot of the mallard pair with their young-uns, Jimmy!

Beautiful capture of the drake Wood Duck in full color, fotoi!

Thank you, Mike.

Thank you, Mike. I agree, it's the only one I know of with light, peridot green eyes and those long mane-like feathers on the neck are pretty special.

Nice grackle, Mike! You caught the blue and a little purple.

A+! Love the detail ... and not just in the bird.

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
QUOTED IMAGE

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.
QUOTED IMAGE
3. Some more


QUOTED IMAGE

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.
QUOTED IMAGE

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.


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.


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!

Nice set, and a very pretty/interesting bird.
