The little ones in the great spotted woodpecker´s nest are not so little anymore. I hope to catch them when they leave the nest, so I ordered them to stay in the nest until I come back from work

Sweet. Thanks for the Mallard comment. I just got back from a week in Montreal and boy this thread has left me behind!!

where I live we have Carolina Wrens. Probably very similar. They nest on my back porch every year in cardboard boxes, on shelves and once in a flower watering can that was lying on it side. While the female is sitting on the eggs the male loves to go under my car which is parked close by to see if the coast is clear. When he sees me he starts scolding me. I oblige and step inside to allow him to bring food for his mate or babies. They have the loudest call I have ever heard.

BTW, lovely shot.

Lots more catching up to do but so far what a batch of lovely shots from everyone!!

I just had to comment here - luckily I noticed the wren trying to build in the rear bumper of my old motorhome (sewer hose compartment) where there is a cap with a hole in it at one end - happened to notice some twigs. So I poked a bit of odd shaped rock in the hole and an hour later she'd knocked it off. Again, lucky I noticed and plugged it thoroughly.

Too quick of a skim but so much grass cutting and garden etc. to catch up on that it'll have to do for now. Wonderful shots - all of them, including Riley with the "lowly" crow.

I experienced the Biodome in Montreal and it was really impressive, especially for birds but alas I didn't/couldn't pack any long lenses. I might post one or two 70 mm shots when I can get to them.

Hey, Click. You are often one of the first to complement pictures from other people and I am delighted to return the favour. The tones are lovely and the heron so sharp.
