Stumbled upon this the other day.....it's the first time I've ever seen a hummer building a nest and I must admit, it was quite remarkable. She seemed a bit disturbed that I found her out, so after clicking a couple of shots I left her to her business and wandered away. Really wonderful sight, I might add....

The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the sea hawk, fish eagle or fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings.

The Great Blue Heron is replaced in the Old World by the very similar Grey Heron, which differs in being somewhat smaller (90–98 cm), with a pale gray neck and legs, lacking the browner colors that Great Blue Heron has there. It forms a superspecies with this and also with the Cocoi Heron from South America, which differs in having more extensive black on the head, and a white breast and neck.

Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) with her nest and chicks high in the brush at Gatorland Rookeries.Cattle Egrets are often the last to breed here but sill make a spectacular site for many of us.

Even this late in the year, the rookery is still going strong. We're seeing a lot of late arriving Tricolors and the Great Blue Heron's are just nesting. The Cattle Egret Fledglings are in huge supply and making a racket.
