"...Nests are made from spider webs and a wide array of plant materials. This could partially explain the long assembly time because it must take forever to manipulate a spider web into doing your bidding without it sticking to you in the process. Once the outside is complete, the nest is lined with feathers and animal hair to make it warm and snuggly. The entrance and exit are a hole left at the top where the couple can fly in and out.
According to The Birds of North America Online database, this sturdy nest also makes the perfect incubator for eggs during the day and the lower half is sometimes placed strategically in the sun to enhance this effect allowing both mom and dad to leave the eggs unattended while they hunt for lunch. The nest’s shape can hold anywhere from five to 15 eggs. Fifteen seems like a lot of eggs for a bird that’s about four inches long, yikes!
Dan Cooper, President of Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. and local bird expert who wrote the book Important Bird Areas of California, vouched for the Bushtit’s reproductive capabilities.
“They do have exceptionally large broods, 10 plus young is not uncommon, said Cooper. “This is very different from most birds aside from waterfowl, quail, and a couple other groups. This adaptation probably allows them to thrive despite their tiny size and delicateness. They’re one of the most successful urban species, nesting in a huge variety of environments, within the most developed neighborhoods. In this way, they’re like pigeons, though 99.99% of the residents of Los Angeles have never seen or heard of them.”
Since you have a very good chance of seeing a Bushtit, if you do spot one while you’re with someone make sure you say, “There’s a Bushtit, a member of the Long-tailed Tits family.” Because seriously when are you going to have the chance again to say “tit” that many times in a sentence without offending somebody?"

I watched this GC Grebe diving for nesting material. He/she kept bringing it over to a fallen tree and half heartedly placed it on a branch. As soon as its back was turned it fell off and sank to the bottom again.

Not a 'quality' shot as he was backlit and on the other side of a large field, but this bull was patiently allowing the five jackdaws to pull hair off of his back to line their nests with! They would fly off with a beak full of hair and then quickly come back for more. I love discovering behaviours like this and it's even better when I can capture it :)

Natural materials. Timber. And technically phosphorus is always natural. Just can't get it in pure form without some help.
Leftover wrapping material from past Christmases when I had places to go and gifts to wrap and fundraisers would send it free to decorate the closet.

USAF Material Command ESC/DIKL & M.I.T. Lincoln Labs G-II departing Oakland-Pontiac International Airport this morning. The last time I saw this Gulfstream was March 1996 @ YYZ. I had forgotten how absolutely ground trembling Rolls Royce Spey's are without hush kits. Definitely my american bizjet highlight of 2020!

Cazado el Costa Brava en Viladecans nos fuimos a Vilanova a recoger a Arcadi y tras un breve almuerzo en Cubelles pusimos rumbo a una curva ya conocida por mí pero en la que tenía ganas de pillar un tren de material convencional. El segundo y último paso St. Andreu Comtal – Mora la Nova vino puntual y lo hizo con la 252.058 y 13 coches, siendo 6 de ellos los que había traído el Costa Brava aquella misma mañana y los otros 7 los del último Pío Baroja.
After photographing the Estrella Costa Brava in Viladecans we moved to Vilanova to pick up Arcadi and then, after having breackfast in Cubelles, we went to Capçanes, to a well-known curve where I wanted to photograph a conventional train for a long time. Second transfer of out of service carriages to Mora la Nova came on time formed by the 252.058 and 13 carriages, being six of them the ones which had brought the Estrella Costa Brava that same morning and the other seven those of the last Pío Baroja.
