We're headed to France for the summer. It's not as intense as Sweden, but it gets dark around 11 PM and the sun comes up by 5 AM
Curved bill thrasher eggs. Not a very good looking bird but his song is incredible. They always build the nest in a cholla cactus. Last month she tried to dismantle the straw foot mat on the back porch to build the nest. You can see my floor mat straw.

Moving from Georgia to Oregon I was in for a big surprise in the summer when there was light around 4:30 am and it did not get dark until after 10 pm. My sister and niece came out from NC a few years ago in July and I had to warn them about how much daylight we had.
That can't be good

I lived in Alaska for a while. Over the summer. My dog at the time thought sunrise at 4am was time for me to get up and play. Sunset around midnight.
Green grass and a rainbow. It must finally be spring on the frozen tundra.

Deviled eggs?

I'd suggest giving the man back his red Swingline
Hard to imagine that's the same guy. The mark of a great actor.

Have had lots of time over the last 10 days observing "nature" around the property while waiting to get this stupid leg brace off. The annual Eastern Phoebe nest building under our 2nd story deck proceeded to where the "Missus" had one nest all set to go only to discover a parasite House Finch had dropped some eggs in it. So she immediately abandoned that nest to build a second, and as of today she had totally over-achieved in the egg laying department.
Meanwhile - no pictures of this - a Robin had built a nest in the crown of a foundation shrub barely 3 feet from a bedroom window and had hatched five chicks last Thursday. Things were proceeding well until the nest was apparently raided and emptied by a hawk this morning, leaving a single feather below.
Then all day today we've had a fantastic maple tree spinner fall - just clouds of the spinners coming down like snow - and collecting in windrows on our little pond. I looked out there around noon and there were two pairs of Mallards scooping the seeds off the surface like so much candy. And an hour later noticed a Canada Goose couple with their half-dozen kiddies had walked to our pond from one a 1/4 mile north (as is pretty common here) and stopped by for dining and rest.
Not a great pic shot from 100 feet away. One Mallard couple is to the right of the geese and goslings.
To top off the afternoon's wildlife entertainment a local River Otter traveled through the street drain from the same pond the geese had walked from and popped out of the overflow pipe to tour the pond for a snack. All the birds got out of the water until the otter left, which wasn't long as the otters had cleaned out pretty much everything in the pond weeks ago...
Cheers!

This bald eagle was surveying its domain from a tree just before the intersection where we turn to enter the subdivision where our daughter and SIL live.
