I have some of doves getting happy. I love nature shots and the more time you spend out with birds the more things you see them do. Whether you wanted to or not. lol

My ospreys are back at their nest. I was afraid the new vineyard had scared them away.
This is from 2011. I think I mentioned before that PG&E built a platform above an electrical pole for them. They are really messy nest builders.

Poor guy! Actually, he might have been young and inexperienced. Maybe she lost her prior mate. Young and inexperienced is much worse than old and having a little problem.

I bet he figured it out.....or she will throw his butt out.
