Hurray! A Lynx thread for all of his fans!
I think you may need to post his stats now...age, height, weight. We already know his marital status!

Ha, he looks a little disgruntled in the third picture.
I still find it amazing how he chose to build a nest in the open like that. I guess when your determined nothing will stop you!

lol great pics, he's such a cheeky little man! What're you going to do with all those babies? Since, apparently they're going to be breeding like bunnies since they've learned to ground nest?

Well, I need to rehome many of the babies. Lynx and Pixie are the only ones that are going to have a nest. All the others I remove the eggs because they are all siblings. Altho I don't really see any of the other males helping out with nesting duties. It's always two sisters.
Wierd, huh?
I'll post more pics of Lynx as I can get them. He's become quite camera shy. It took me lots of pics and lots of patience to get those. He seems to know when I want to take his picture!

Lynx isen't really looking his best these days. It seems most of the feathers from his head are actually lining the nest.

I'll see if I can find a picture of what he usually ends up looking like.

I think Lynx will pooper on you for posting that vulture photograph! How humbling!
I always love how the little guys look snuggled into their nests!

lol what a little demon! It's good he's got a strong wife to show him what for

I think the reason you get such good shots is b/c he's so bold he lets you get right up to him lol, of course he has to glare at you the whole time too
