Nesting time

Another mixed bag post, variety is the spice of life so they say! I was finally able to get my bike tires back on...After checking the price I went the cheap route and bought the tire and tubes and oiled up the rest I even greased the bearings in the wheel axles. So it runs good now I just need to be in better condition to pedal it...

A little confusing but I finally got it done.

The tires are back on the bike now...they say you never forget how to ride a bike, I haven't been riding it for many years!! My Bike is 21 yrs old.

The last thing I want is to fall so I will be taking it easy...I've been going here and there I notice birds are full stream ahead with nesting. I stopped at the County Environmental Park and caught this Carolina Wren with nesting material...his/her partner was nearby also bringing in the sheathes...

And this may be the last White Throated Sparrow I see this year...caught this guy at a cemetery that I enjoy birding at because right behind this cemetery is a lake and a wetland...

Immature Red Tail

I checked the Eagle Nest in Wisacky, the immature one is hanging by the nest as I figured it would, all alone now..

The Wisteria is in Bloom...Newsome Mill Pond

And I spotted a House Sparrow, something I don't see every day...At McBee Farms Roadside Store

I made a roadside stop at the Rookery in Society Hill I showed you last year...this year they have put up signs keep out, and a motion activated game camera so I stayed on the OK side of the locked barrier, and tried to see the nesting behavior from the side of the road. Looks busy.

They are already sitting on the nests..

I was not able to get a good look but I could see at least 50 nesting sites, and there was a lot of Anhinga on nests too...

and ducks at Lake Wallace, in Bennettsville, are wasting no time at all...
