Indeed! The picture was taken on April 7th when most of the snow was gone but there was still ice on the water.

I Shot the Sheriff, but I Did Not Shoot the Deputy
Three house wrens waiting:
=====
One being fed (another here):
...'organs' on the meal visible?
=====
...saw that one of the parents took great pains removing stuff from the birdhouse.
=====
All images: R5II (FW 1.0.3) mated to 200-800/K&F Concept Nano X UV Filter @ about 600; ISO 1600; 1/350 sec; handheld; SOOC jpegs; cropped using Picasa (still!)

It was around 4:00 P.M. on a June day a couple of years ago. I processed the RAW file yesterday. The goslings are kinda "downy" soft but I did add a soft focus effect. Thanks for looking.

A crop (and Topaz sharpening) of the bottom picture in Post #31765 above:
...it looks as though what I referred to as 'stuff' in #31765 is, upon closer inspection, the remains of one of the youngsters (?).
At least three little ones survived and have now apparently left the nest.

Disclaimer: the photo below is for birders, not photographers! Sorry for posting this miserable photo here but I'm sure there are real birders around!
My first Wilson's Phalarope (at all!)! The last one have been registered on Oahu at 1979! On Maui 2013 (and it was the last for all Hawaiian Islands, scarce vagrants after 1990 - just a few birds).
Very hot, distance 59.57 meters (hot air distortion well visible!) . 500 PF x 1.4 TC = 1050mm at 35mm equivalent (Nikon). In preserved (and fenced!) area no way to shorten the distance (and the air distortion!) even if you want (believe me I wanted!!!).
Bird is max 23cm long (for females!) - don't know how big was this one!
And after all excuses:

I spent last friday in a photohide, the day started cloudy, but the sun came out in the afternoon.
Common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) preening:
R5 Mk II with EF 600 f4 II.
Northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) taking a bath:
R5 Mk II with RF 200-800mm.
Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) feeding youngsters:
R5 Mk II with RF 200-800mm.
I removed the part of the container with mealworms which protruded from the underside of the branch in LR.
