The birds are starting to nest. Our first nest of the season was a Lapland Longspur I found as I saw an adult carrying feathers to line the nest. Today was the first shorebird nest being built by the male Red-necked Phalarope. It was in the early stages, but I witnessed a pair copulating and the male went right to work. I couldn't resist taking a few pictures as I was nest searching.

| I scheduled a photoshoot with this Bar-tailed Godwit. There are now at least 2 pairs in our area. |

| I had some nice light on this male Lapland Longspur. I'm not sure why he looks so sad. Maybe it is all the water flooding the tundra. |
I'll be sure to post pictures of our invertebrate traps and some of the nests soon. I know I've said it before, but things are really getting busy! It will get crazy soon, so I'll enjoy my sleep while I can. Later!
