Linosa island hosts the second largest Cory's (ssp. Scopoli's) Shearwater colony in the Mediterranean, with around 10000 pairs. The picture is not so good but shows them during their rafting. Around sunset, the birds gather together just outside the colony an will wait there until the moon goes down. No shearwater attends their nests when the moon is still shining! This is done chiefly to avoid predation.

nest
My 400th species actually turns out to be a nest photo of the Indigo Bunting. Seen at Otis Lake Bird Sanctuary, Barry County, Michigan. Taking nest photos requires very careful precautions: it's important not to disturb the surroundings which could lead the bird to abandon the nest. Also, I spent less than 10 seconds taking this photo and then immediately left the area to allow the bird to return. These particular birds were very lucky not to have the nest touched by a passing lawn tractor, which cut the grass on the side of the road and nearly exposed the nest.

Above Okanagan Falls BC
One of the target birds on our second annual Okanagan Birding tour. Much better lighting this year. The bird was still about 60 ft above us, so cropping was required.

Ottawa - It almost looks like these ducks were sandwiched together in Photoshop but they were flying inches apart for a few seconds.

These birds were with a group of Chickadees and bustits. They blended in, this is the only good photo I got.

A rare bird alert for this bird. I spent a couple of hours at high tide on two days at Boundary Bay and was rewarded on the second day.
