As a lot of you guys already know, warblers are probably my favorite and warbler season in Wisconsin is getting ready to explode! Yellow-rumped are the first back and are everywhere now. Louisiana Waterthrush are another early one, and not very common. It's always nice to get one, which I was able to on Friday afternoon at Lake Park, in Milwaukee. So... I consider my warbler season off the an excellent start!!! 7D mkll / EF 600 F4 ll / 1.4x lll

Circle of life photo

Common raven, marauding a nest of, probably, mallards or pied-billed grebes that I see swimming in a marsh lake...
And cunningly smart, picked up one egg and flew away over the tree line, was back in less than 30 seconds, picked up another from the same nest. The first egg was still whole (no photo but seen it through binoculars), the second one is lightly cracked. As to if there were any more stolen before or how many left in the nest, hard to tell, no access through the reeds and the murderer was already flying when I spotted it.

Hi Alan.
These are such beautiful creatures, I see a trio around my workshop. One day I should stop taking them for granted and immortalise them with a camera!

Cheers, Graham.

What a "Cool" photo!

thankfully, not a bald eagle intent on cracking open tortoises on a bald head! ):

No you shouldn't be afraid from Bald Eagles (there are no Bald Eagles in Europe, so they shouldn't be included in this story) and ANY Eagle in winter time - there are no tortoises walking the snow (at least I'm not aware of such tortoises). Problem solved!

"Splish splash, I was takin' a bath 'long about a Saturday night..."
Taken last Saturday, AF did lock on the edge of the bird bath. However, I like them.
And I will try to do better

Nicely done, Maximilian.

Nicely done, Maximilian.

Thanks Click. But if it was nicely done, the bird would have been in focus
But I willingly accept "Good timing"

No problem, let's change that for "Good timing".
