Elphaba, I'll be sure to keep up with the Cliff Swallows' building progress. What strikes me funny is that I fancy that a C. Swallow will sit in the craddle-like newly built structure for the others to bring the mud and build the nest around it(them) for size. Sort of like providing a 'mold' for sizing for the new structure. I find it very interesting.

Agreed, that velvety blue on the grackles are 'purdy' to me too. lol. Who is that little fella on the background (of your Grackle's pic.). A sparrow?

Margaret, every time I see Ospreys, I thought of 'Ausey'. Have you not seen their nesting lately?

Pelle, thank you for the National Geo.'s site. The C. Loon and its baby hitching a ride. Too, too sweet for words.

Fishing Crow?
