The geese don’t seem to mind the 4 inches of rain we’ve gotten in the last day or so.

A lot of captions came to mind on this one, but I’ll leave it up to your imaginations what was going on here.

bird nest, nest, oriole, photography
This bird’s nest consists of yarn, string, cloth fibers, fishing line, rope and who knows what else. It makes a very strong structure when woven together. This is most likely the nest of a Baltimore Oriole.

cardinal
The cardinals are like the royalty of backyard birds. They seem to always have an air of superiority about them. Those strong beaks are well suited to seed crunching.

This owl goes by many names such as Eight Hooter, Rain Owl, Wood Owl, and Striped Owl, but is most commonly known as the Hoot Owl. Who could not love a face like this?

bald, eagle, photography
This eagle’s nest (aerie) is about 60 feet up in a tall tree. The nest is huge, at least 4 feet in diameter. In order to get an angle which allowed me to see the eaglet pop his head up I had to get about 200 yards away. The photo is extremely zoomed in so is not really sharp. This nest is on the Arkansas River near Tulsa.
Update: This is not really a young eagle, but actually one of the parents probably tending an egg. Here is a video which shows the same nest with the mom and dad changing places.

song, sparrow
This is one of the most numerous birds in North America. They use complex songs to declare their territory and to identify neighboring song sparrows as opposed to strangers.
