It's throwback Saturday (is it?) and here are some Sandhill cranes from our years in Florida, at our first home. We lived near a lake (swamp) and they were plentiful. The large adult group had clearly been fed. The family group was adorable, though only one of the chicks reached adulthood.

It may be coming into magpies having babies season in Australia (threatening, feral, dangerous) but it’s also ducks having babies season (relaxing, civilised, adorable)
[all photos were taken at a respectful distance using a zoom lens. Never get close to baby wild animals!]
Seems fitting to have a buzzard in a dead tree. One of many roosting nearby the Roanoke River tonight.
Someone is pollinating our Scarlet Runner Beans: Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
Not too many Bumble Bees around so it's even more appreciated.
