What a contrast. The top nest is about the size of a very small tea cup. It could easily fit in the palm of my hand. I can't tell for sure what bird built this nest, but it would be a very small. This nest is just three or four inchers across. So tiny and very low to the ground.
The second nest is from a Bald Eagle. She is currently in the nest (yes, look close). They have new eggs in there. That nest is six or seven feet accros. and likly as tall. It is high up in the trees.
Very cool.

The squirrels have been really fun lately. This one needs a little more exercise or stricter diet. I guess he was ready for a harsh winter.

We were hiking on the bike trail along the Great Miami River just south of the Farrington Reserve when Teresa spotted this cute squirrel. We snapped a couple photos ..
.. and then he spotted us. It looked at us and I could almost here him saying to himself, "Who are these crazy humans taking my picture?"
Much like Santa, he turned and ran away .. then up the chimney, I mean tree he ran. The next time we spotted him, he was once again checking us out with that same look .. 'strange humans."

So young in a very big world. Maybe his world seems smaller but clearly he was exploring it.

We hiked along the Stillwater River a couple of times this week. I took these photos near the Rangeline Road Entrance to the Stillwater Prairie Reserve. I saw thousands of these webs along the trail. There were everwhere along the trail and throughout the reserve. It was a busy night.
