What is that big bird in the middle? This national cam is Sweden is very entertaining. And all the other cams are so interesting too, the snowy town streets, ski lifts, and especially the monkeys. :) Thanks for the links.

Just one more shot, because, trust me, you could take a hundred. Wonder if one of these guys is a juvie or if they are a pair.

Their faces look a bit like those sea eagles in Finland. Is that what they are? And I guess that someone has placed something there for them to eat to attract them to the camera maybe.

Here are several pictures that I took of a pair of hawks near the Ohio state University medical center just across the field from the football stadium where our two falcons like to hang out - we did not see any falcons but we did see this pair of hawks on Friday Feb 12

Thank you Susan for your nice comments - Irina and I wonder where the falcons go when they are not hanging out around the stadium or twin towers where they love to just sit and sleep or look around. A few weeks ago I watched Clementine eat her lunch on the stadium scoreboard - it was really very awesome - unfortunately I did not have my camera at the time so hopefully the opportunity will present itself again when I do have the camera then I will post those pictures.

Thank you Beth too for your nice comments about the pictures!

Video: Portland Redtails Have Three Eggs in the Nest

A pair of mating Red-tail hawks has returned to a downtown Portland building. They have three eggs in the nest. The first egg was laid between March 3 and March 4.

There were three eggs in 2009. Of those, two juveniles survived

:oops: EDIT- I have put this post in the Oregon hawks thread, here:

Video: Tiny Eurasian Nuthatch Prepares her Nest

The Eurasian Nuthatch, Sitta europaea, is a small passerine found throughout temperate Europe and Asia, although not in Ireland. It belongs to the nuthatch family Sittidae. This bird is the most common and most widespread nuthatch, and is often referred to just as the Nuthatch. Source: Wikipedia

The nestbox we see is actually meant for Tawny Owls. The opening is too large for the Nuthatches, who need an opening not larger than 5 cm in diameter. In previous years, the Nuthatch solved that problem by reducing the entrance using clay, a trick Nuthatches often use.

The Nuthatches have been inspecting this nestbox, eating some insects, and tapping against the edge of the entrance hole. It has passed their scrutiny, and so now building the nest has begun.

From the Geniet van de Lente forum:

“Building the nest happens in 3 phases: first, various potential nest cavities are cleaned up early in spring. Once the definitive nest spot has been picked, adjusting the entrance hole starts at the same time as furnishing. First, a basis is laid of wood chips. Esp. in square nestboxes and in deep tree cavities lots of filler material is used. On top of that, the real furnishing material is placed. Thin pieces of (Scots) Pine (Pinus sylvestris) bark are by far preferred. Nuthatches may fly distances of a several hundred yards to fetch that stuff. If it really isn't available, a bed is made of dry leaves and bark of other trees. Only the female bird will enter with nest material, put it down and make circular movements to create a comfortable nest "bowl".

Mr. Nuthatch limits himself to a supporting role. Observing nest building from scratch showed that the female brought material 297 times vs. the male only 11 times.

The female is busy "mortaring" the entrance hole. Cracks and crevices are also closed. In the top right hand corner the result of her craftsmanship slowly becomes visible. As said before, the female does most of the work, the male guards the scene. The material used for "mortaring" is diverse: earth, mud, cow manure and even a freshly laid dog turd. Good thing birds can hardly smell ...”

The live cams and forum are sponsored by the Dutch Society for the Protection of Birds (VBN).
