A Great Blue Heron brings in another stick for the nest, while its mate keeps watch. Seen at Kensington Metropark, near Milford, Michigan.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Regrettably, her nest eggs are more significant than my nest egg.
The photo was taken from a bridge above the nest.
Bald Eagle.
After finishing the nest framework, this male Bald eagle is bringing in soft material for his mate. It is certainly no 'memory foam' but surely just as comfortable for them.
This nest is located in Northern Pennsylvania along the banks of the West Branch Susquehanna River, about20 miles South of the NY border. Per the locals it has been used by this pair (only one showing) for the last five years or so.
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?

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.
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.
These nests can weigh between several hundred pounds and upwards to a ton as the eagles add to the nest each season.
What a wonderful experience watching this guy build a nest. He never stopped moving!

Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).
Jumping Spider
This one has started building her nest to lay her eggs. She was quite obliging and kept looking out at me.
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.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Emigrant Lake - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Lakes and Ponds
Food : Fish
Nesting : Tree
Behavior : Aerial Dive
Conservation : Low Concern
"Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons."
- Cornell University Lab of Ornithology
"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
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
The male osprey brings back a stick as this osprey pair works on fixing up their nest. It is so great to see them back :-).

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.
This is a Red-necked Grebe bringing nest material back to the new nest under construction back in May of this year.

Same individuals I've posted earlier, on the day the chicks left the nest.
This is an adult, I think. My back yard.

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.
