Asian Openbill - India


Asian Openbill, originally uploaded by Michael A. Nelson.

Staying in the same sanctuary location as the last few posts, I noticed this Asian Openbill Stork bringing nesting material over to her nest. The sun was perfect and I was able to get a few pictures of the chicks as well.

Darter - India


Darter, originally uploaded by Michael A. Nelson.

I have always enjoyed taking photographs of nesting birds. Here is a Darter from my trip to India. A big nest compared to what I see in Canada. I was able to get fairly close as we were traveling in a small row boat as we moved around the sanctuary.
