^^^^ Z, was that rail making an escape from yer private reserve? What a beauty!
I have to admit I’m over-saturated with data and can’t remember how I got that! 😔
It may have been a link from one of the Swedish sites, of which I have found many. I was
reluctant to take it off but I had to today to find twitcher towers in Norge. On the Google Maps
search window I tried entering the Norwegian, which I’m only somewhat proficient in, but it seems
Google likes English better. I’m looking at ‘Bird watching sites near Trondheim fjord’ right now.
I haven’t found one for all of Norge yet.
And I’m not coming back without a Temminck’s Stint, I promise you! 🐥

My wife and I just spent 3+ weeks northern Europe.
It wasn't a designated birding trip,
and I only brought my cell phone and binocular adapter not a real camera.
We spent some time in Hannover, Dalarna area of Sweden,
Gothenburg Swe and finally Amsterdam.
The birding high points for me were: Red Kite, many Tits,
Greyheaded and Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers, Winchat,
Black-headed Gull Colony, Great Crested Grebe and Kestrel(Eurasian). I've always loved Common Eiders and Northern Lapwings and got to see those and even Moorhens. The introduced Rose-ringed parakeets and Egyptian Geese in Amsterdam were a trip. I hesitate to post the low quality photos, but I suppose they beat just a list of birds. Barely.

Happy to pull the non-bird photos upon request.

my son has been specifically asking to see a western tanager
Limping Crab, sounds like that boy needs a stylish Tahoe Institute for Natural Science hat with tanager logo, available in classic bird-nerd khaki or hip trucker models.

I needed something to remove the "taste" of my cell phone photos, so from Montlake Fill today. There were also two Blue-wing Teal that weren't close enough to photograph but beautiful to see.

Cyndie B, great shots. It must be really fun and exiting to have all the migrants back.
Got these today in my front yard. Two birds , one from the foothills of the Himalya's. And one from the east coast of North America.
Kalij Phesant and Northern Cardinal

I have no decent bird photos for a while, but we had our best Golden Eagle nest monitoring day ever today. We managed to check the first nest just in time, since the two nestlings were about 9 weeks old, and could fledge any time. Then it can be pretty hard to locate and count them. The heat shimmer, wind and foliage made for some very crappy video images. Here is a frame shot after one of the adults had dropped off some prey.
A couple of moths ago, there was a pretty clear view of the nest.
The second nest was easier. Again we were fortunate to be there when an adult dropped off a prey item (probably a CA Ground Squirrel. These nestlings were about a month younger, 5 weeks, with still a lot of white on the head and in the upperwings.
