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
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.
I wish love and joy to nest in the hearts of people and to warm them, adding a note of happiness to the difficult daily life of this time.Stay Strong.. Stay Safe.. Soon all we will be better! Faith, Love, Courage.. Merry Christmas to all!!!Big hug! With Love Ela ♥♥♥
Believe..
Children sleeping
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling
Likes bells in the distance
We were dreamers
Not so long ago
But one by one
We all had to grow up
When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Trains move quickly
To their journey's end
Destinations
Are where we begin again
Ships go sailing
Far across the sea
Trusting starlight
To get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
Just believe
Just believe

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.
* This Great Egret was adding materials to its already large nest. Taken on Avery Island Southern Louisiana in 2014
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
What a wonderful experience watching this guy build a nest. He never stopped moving!
You can see more of this series on my photostream here:
Alligator hatchlings, like most young in the wild, have to beat the odds to make it to adulthood. I read that about 1% make it. Momma gator will respond immediately to a young one's distress call and is very protective. But she can't protect them against the myriad of other animals that would take one as a snack. While I was watching the area around this nest, all I could see was one hatchling. However, when one called, mom soon arrived and over the course of time the other little hatchlings gathered. I counted as best I could and got to 17. I hope they beat the odds. (Alligator mississippiensis)
Artwork from my series "Shadows" showed at THE EDGE Art Gallery for the ARTISTRY Exhibition, the series was made in collaboration with my partner Eli Medier that made my works talk through his poems.

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.
The robin is one of the most familiar birds of the UK, regularly visiting gardens. Robins are also common in parks, scrub and woodland, making their presence known with a loud, territorial song. They sing from prominent perches right through the winter, when both males and females hold territories; indeed, they are fiercely territorial, driving off intruders and even fighting. During the breeding season, the female is allowed into the male's territory where she sets up a nest of dead leaves, moss and hair. Nests often crop up in the oddest of places, such as plant pots, old wellies and shelves, but Ivy and other shrubs are their natural choice. Robins have been associated with Christmas ever since Victorian times; Victorian postmen, who were known as 'Robin Red-breasts' because of their red waistcoats, are thought to be the inspiration for so many robins appearing on our Christmas cards. Whether it's the case or not, robins certainly make themselves known in winter with their loud, aggressive song!

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
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
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
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.
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.
