Great beachcombing find

Two Bald Eagle chicks on their tide line nest, almost a decade ago on Middleton Island (Gulf of Alaska). The entire family (as well as 5 more nesting pairs and some non-breeders) were subject to a certified diet study at the time, for which we met once every two weeks. Currently trying to close that gap between fieldwork and publication…

A very happy new year @ Châtillon-Coligny

Volta!









Together we made this one happen, I thank you all.

Nucifraga caryocatactes @ Wageningen!

100 meters from work, bird is there for several days already, an overcast but no rain, cold but not too cold; conditions seemed ok for some serious twitching.

Holy Grails

Thinking of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I wouldn’t pick any of these two… (thanks Jasper!)

We´re open on Sundays!

Urban refugees

A neighbour destroyed their nest just before any eggs were laid. But those eggs were coming and the couple found refuge on our balcony. No time to build a nest. Around here, if not disturbed, exposed eggs like these usually get predated by Magpie Pica pica or Carrion crow Corvus corone.
