Rochester


Kaver and Mariah in the nestbox courting. The scrape is there. She looks real heavy on the backside.

Rochester: say it with a kiss


Extraordinairy photo. I know they use their bills to great eachother, knibbeling on eachothers toes duting courtship. But this is a great shot. Beautiful bonding gesture.

Click to enlarge and enjoy this special photo of Kaver and his Mariah.

Rome


Beautiful Aria is incubating herr 4 eggs. vento taking a look, or is he taking his turn?

Cobb Island




Great images of Cobb Island, Virginia. They are both very often in the nestbox. Won't be long before the eggs will come.

Columbus Ohio



Scout & Orville in the nestbox. They are really into courtship now. Wonder if we can catch them in the act.

James River Bridge

Still the lens of the color cam is very blurry, no images to be taken. So it has to be in black and white. She does not get up, so I don't know if there are 5 eggs.

Heidelberg

Aurora is keeping her 2 eggs warm. Maybe tomorrow a third one?

Nijmegen: first egg




And in Nijmegen a first egg as well!

Eemsmond: first egg!


In the Netherlands at the Eemsmond nest the first egg was laid.
