I heard and then followed a busy long-tailed tit, hoping for a photo. I was not disappointed as it lead me to its 9 chicks sitting on a branch.
While the nesting attempts of these tits often fail, they either try again or help relatives with their nesting attempt. This additional family help can lead to up to 12 surviving juveniles.

I livestream on Twitch on Sundays, 1-3:00 and Tuesday nights, 7-9:00, PDT (GMT-7). I am currently working on more bird images for greeting cards and a calendar.
White Wagtail relaxing on a field in Enger, Germany. I always think of them as birds who like being near water — so I am always surprised anew whenever I see them running around on fields (which happens more frequently than I'd have imagined).
This bird is an Anhinga perched on a dead tree in the middle of a gator infested lake in the early morning light. Anhinga are very adept swimmers. Diving deep to bring up large fish, it is not uncommon to see them flapping their wings under water as they move swiftly in search of food.
So excited to learn our new replacement windows for the whole house are to be installed next week! They are double pane Energy Star with a slight blue tint for extra energy savings. No more of my DIY insulation on very old, large single pane windows.
FYI they are far less expensive than I thought. Literally half the price I guessed.
