Ready to fledge, they left the nest soon after this was taken.
This nest is in a concrete underpass where a desert sand wash goes under one of the main paved roads.
As seen in Desert Hills, Green Valley Arizona, USA
Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images it's very much appreciated.
I don't know what this Red-necked Grebe is transporting, it almost looks like a dirty net of some kind, but it ends up part of the grebe's nest. Makes sense!
Thought I'd give the ole 2X tele a try with the 600 and the new R5. I was curious to see how that combination works together and I think it looks great! What do you think?
Taken 14 June 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.

This little lady was very busy. Hummingbird nests are so intricate and well designed. Caught this one first thing in the morning.
An abandoned hornets nest.
Thanks to Cheryl Dunlop Molin and ~~Chuck's~~Photos~~ for correcting me. This is a hornets nest not a bird nest.
These nests can weigh between several hundred pounds and upwards to a ton as the eagles add to the nest each season.
The mama Robin came back and now she has four eggs in the old nest. I don’t know if it’s the same Robin couple but here we go again.
Early April typically marks the return of our local Osprey. Both male and female have returned to this nearby nest which is getting a little updating as the female takes flight with some mossy grass.
Thank you for viewing
I haven't been on this sim for a long time, and now I've confirmed that it's still beautiful

What a wonderful experience watching this guy build a nest. He never stopped moving!

Jumping Spider
This one has started building her nest to lay her eggs. She was quite obliging and kept looking out at me.
Came across these two in the far distance while out on a hike. Shot with a 400mm lens free-hand so not the best focus but you can still see the beauty of the capture.
This is a Red-necked Grebe bringing nest material back to the new nest under construction back in May of this year.

This little bird was building a nest in my garden. I patiently watched the to and fro, and took advantage of the return. I happened to be standing in the way as it waited for me to finish shooting and move out of the way.
"A nest egg is a substantial sum of money or other assets that have been saved or invested for a specific purpose. Such assets are generally earmarked for longer-term objectives, the most common being retirement, buying a home, and education. “Nest egg” has been used to refer to savings since the late 17th century." - Investopedia
It was my first time photographing this species. I had seen them before in TX. I was lucky to see this bird at its nest in Patagonia. I love how fierce they look!!
Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) collecting nest-building material.
Szpak (Sturnus vulgaris) zbierający materiał do budowy gniazda.
This nuthatch flew to a tree right next to me and began pulling at this fine material for nest building. Completely ignoring me, allowing me to compensate for the strong back light.
Last summer's nest and now sitting empty in the middle of January. I'm glad the wild winterberries were still on the vine and uneaten, giving a nice balance to the image.
Enjoy.

Dartford Warbler - Sylvia Undata
The Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata) iDs a typical warbler from the warmer parts of western Europe and northwestern Africa. It is a small warbler with a long thin tail and a thin pointed bill. The adult male has grey-brown upperparts and is dull reddish-brown below except for the centre of the belly which has a dirty white patch. It has light speckles on the throat and a red eye-ring. The sexes are similar but the adult female is usually less grey above and paler below.
Its breeding range lies west of a line from southern England to the heel of Italy (southern Apulia). The Dartford warbler is usually resident all year in its breeding range, but there is some limited migration.
The Dartford warbler was first described by the Welsh naturalist Thomas Pennant from two specimens that were shot in April 1773 on Bexley Heath near Dartford in Kent.
The species is naturally rare. The largest European populations of Sylvia undata are in the Iberian peninsula, others in much of France, in Italy and southern England and south Wales. In Africa it can be found only in small areas in the north, wintering in northern Morocco and northern Algeria.
In southern England the birds breed on heathlands, sometimes near the coast, and nest in either common gorse (Ulex europaeus) or common heather (Calluna
Dartford warblers are named for Dartford Heath in north west Kent, where the population became extinct in the early twentieth century. They almost died out in the United Kingdom in the severe winter of 1962/1963 when the national population dropped to just ten pairs. Sylvia undata is also sensitive to drought affecting breeding success or producing heath fires, as occurred during 1975 and 1976 in England when virtually all juveniles failed to survive their first year.
However, this species can recover well in good quality habitat with favourable temperatures and rainfall, thanks to repeated nesting and a high survival rate for the young. Indeed, they recovered in some areas of the UK, but numbers are once again on the decline in other regions of their natural range.
The range of the Dartford warbler is restricted to western and southern Europe. The total population in 2012 was estimated at 1.1–2.5 million breeding pairs. The largest numbers occur in Spain where there were believed to be 983,000–1,750,000 pairs. For reasons that probably include loss of suitable habitat, the Spanish population appears to be declining. The species is therefore classed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being Near threatened.
A period of climatic warming since 1963 has seen the UK population increase to "more than 2,500 pairs in 2006 (Wotton et al. 2009). Expansion into patches of structurally suitable habitat (up to an altitude of 400m), more northerly areas and away from the core of the range, from Dorset and Hampshire to Derbyshire and Suffolk, is likely to have been facilitated by milder winter weather (Wotton et al. 2009, Bradbury et al. 2011)... The Dartford warbler population in the UK is expected to continue to increase. However, future climate-based projections for the European range indicate that by 2080, more than 60% of the current European range may no longer be suitable (Huntley et al 2007). There is evidence that this is happening already, with severe declines in Spain and France (Green 2017). For this reason, the species is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Global Red List. If the declines in southern Europe continue, the UK will become increasingly important for global conservation of this species".
