These are all fantastic shots. I especially like the action in the first shot. You have some wall hangers, there!

Absolutely fantastic work Irap. That first shot is a money shot for sure.

Great series, Ira. Interesting that different birds use the fecal sacks. I got some images of House Wrens carrying fecal sacks out of their nest in a hole in a tree as well.

Would love to see your shots!

Just wow Ira. I love the series. Those guys are ready to fledge!!!!! I saw the fecal cleaning of nest by my bluebirds in my box. Didn't know that was a thing. Interesting to see how tidy the birds are but makes sense.
