Nesting Birds
View allAll Photos Tagged nest
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.
The Black Throated sparrows are gathering nest material in Desert Hills, Green Valley, Arizona, USA
Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images it's very much appreciated.
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.
The baby geese, called goslings, take about a month to hatch. Babies are covered with soft feathers called down. They hatch with their eyes open and will leave the nest within 24 hours, following their parents. Goslings can swim right away.
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.
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
The arrival of spring brings the herons back to their nursery. It is lovely to accompany this movement and and fascinate me with the moments photographed
A chegada da primavera traz novamente as garças para construção do berçario. É adorável acompanhar estes movimentos e me fascina os momentos capturados.
Very grateful to everyone for the comments and visits
Obrigada à todos pelos comentários e visitas!
What a wonderful experience watching this guy build a nest. He never stopped moving!

Shot for Smile on Saturday! :-), Heart on Fire
How I made it: The paper heart I learned how to make via a TikTok video. It is held with a clothes pin that I blacked out with a marker. The camera is pointed at a slight up angle to not capture the top of the white votive candle about 2 inches behind the heart. In addition to the candle light, it is front lit from below with my cell phone light for about half the exposure.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Emigrant Lake - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Lakes and Ponds
Food : Fish
Nesting : Tree
Behavior : Aerial Dive

"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."

I found this nest close to my area, and I was so excited to take a photo but I just want to make clear that I really respected all nests.
Always remember to keep your distance from any occupied nests you find. You don't want to stress out the parents or attract any predators like squirrels or other birds to the nest :)
"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
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.
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 is a Red-necked Grebe bringing nest material back to the new nest under construction back in May of this year.
Taken 19 May 2022 in Anchorage, Alaska.
This baby House Wren was the last to leave the nest. Mom and dad stopped coming by with free food and it reluctantly (and under protest) left the nest.
Taken on the same day as the previous stork picture. That day we cycled along 4 different stork nests.
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.
