ImpossiblePossible Nest






On the way to work, with just a little time!, sighted Blue Jays still at work on their Nest above the back entrance of the Store...Blue Jays have been working for weeks..dont know if the housekeepers knock the Nest down, or Blue Jays are just having trouble making the Nesting Sticks stay put!.....picked up orange juice and danish...sat outside with all the tourists on the benches...during talkabout with friend, Buzzbird flyover...pic....sunny blueblue warm....at Lunch: Female Mallard snoozing right at edge of Ozone Beach....Male Mallard splash landed and walked over....closer, and closer..then they both stood up and went into the water...was sighting through the new camera viewfinder, set the camera aside....Mallards startled by Impossible Fisherman walking about....I shouldn't say impossible, without trying my own self to catch Fish from the Merced hereabout!...a project...Songsparrow, Blackbirds, Robins, Grosbeak, Chickadee, Blue Jay, and Yellow Warbler about...blurry pic of Warbler...was going to post up clip, Deer and Mergansers, but trouble with ethernet cable...end that goes in the the computer very worn...after some frustration, turned it around, and that works....ordered a replacement!...Mallards came back ashore, and paddled up into the Diversion Channel Ponds and Grasses....report of Garter Snake on the Trail, and flyby of Ravens pursuing 'Redtail'--this near El Cap....

Link of the Day: Fine Art America Owl search, and another from Oil Spill search, same site, along with this one--did a valley search too--over 500 pics or paintings and such!--Sugar Pine Bridge...bit jealous, have to put mine up...a project...

thanks for the picture of the beginning negotiations on the nesting materials. when we had the privledge of watching the nest building process from start to finish - i was told they are supposed to take it down (at least on a housekeeping camp unit) but they did not and when we left they promised to leave it alone until birdies were hatched and flying. we went back each weekend and they kept their word.
