Nesting Birds

A Great Blue Heron brings in another stick for the nest, while its mate keeps watch. Seen at Kensington Metropark, near Milford, Michigan.
Next mating season, this female Brown-headed Cowbird will lay eggs in another bird's nest, and leave them to be tended by the host bird. The eggs will hatch in a shorter time than the host's eggs, and the fast-growing chicks will be fed by the host bird. Often, the host bird's eggs or her chicks will be pushed out of the nest.
In my yard, I have seen an adult House Sparrow feeding the much larger cowbird juvenile, and a Northern Cardinal feeding a cowbird hatchling.
(The male cowbird is black with a brown head, hence the name Brown-headed Cowbird.)

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!

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 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.

This year I am trying to cross off as many bucket list images as I can. Light trails was high on my list. The curvy Hawks Nest Highway was the perfect subject. What would you like to shoot this year?

"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 :-).
Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) collecting nest-building material.

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.

A beautiful barbet endemic to the Malabar region of India. This is a vast global biodiversity hotspot from the tip of South India and spans most of the western coast.
The barbet is spectacularly rich in colors and absolutely amazing to look at. These are endemic to the Malabar region. They are small birds, maybe about 11-13 cms and just like Coppersmith Barbets - another common barbet found much of India.
Shot this picture in a forest camp situated right in the middle of a very active area. This tree was right above our room and the nest is exactly on the underside of the branch below the birds tail (a small inverted hollow). The birds have nested almost a month in advance as per the highly experienced bird guide in that place. The chicks are out and the bird was actively getting food every 30 mins. Just like other birds, it would check the surroundings for prey before it gets into the nest.
This was shot around noon when the bird was most active, so the light was a bit harsh.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
