If you look carefully at the center of the photo below you will see a ball of brown Spartina leaves woven into and around live Spartina. This is the nest. (You may need to click on the photo to view it in a larger format.)
That ball is about a foot in diameter. Here is the industrious little fellow that built it:
This Glossy Ibis was one of several feeding in the marsh, but the only one that refused to be spooked by my presence.
I believe I've posted one or more photos of Osprey sitting on this sign before - perhaps even of this bird - but there he was again today, posing for his portrait.
As a reminder - you can click on any photograph and view a "slide show" of the photos in any given post in larger format. With the bird shots, I recommend that method.
