Nest (covered around with a layer) found in my attic (there are more than 10 older nests). Those nest are mainly from the wasp called Dolichovespula Saxonic. If you want one, just wait one year. They will leave it end of September and they will never return to it. Those wasps are very useful and are not aggressive at all (except if you shake the nest ;-)).
Découpe d'un nid aérien de la guêpe (il y a des couches de "papiers mâchés"): Dolichovespula Saxonic. C'est une guêpe courante dans nos régions (ici la Gaume, Belgique) qui est fort utile... si vous voyez un nid comme cela dans votre grenier, n'ayez pas peur. Elles ne restent qu'une petite période (entre le printemps et l'automne) et quittent le nid à l'entrée de l'automne.
The nest hung under a leaf. There were two wasps working on it.
Fired just the flash unit first from a safe distance before using the camera. Had to make sure it wouldn't get disturbed and want use its business end on my fleeing bottom :)

the birds have been really confused with mild weather this year...these eagles have started building their nest quite early this year...the picture was taken at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge 4 days ago...it was a cloudy evening and not the best conditions for taking great photographs...
I don't remember there being quite as many Osprey nests along the shoreline at Occoquan last year. Going to have to dust off the Kayak.
Nature isn't always fair, or even kind. Today when we went out to do some yard work, Steve noticed a baby bird laying on the dirveway near the nest. My worst fear was soon confirmed - the nest was empty, and likely raided by jays. I picked up the baby, thinking it was dead... but after a few minutes it began wriggling in my hand. So, hubby son and daughter soon went hunting for worms to make a paste mash and feed it by eyedropper. We did this for 5 hrs, every hour or so...leaving the baby in the nest in between and hoping mom would return to it. It was a feeble attempt at best...but it was all we could think to do. She never came. We prepared an incubator for the night...but when we went to retrieve the baby, sadly, it was not to be...
Keely and I buried it in a sunny place in the garden, beneath a beautiful flower...
Can be quite agressive if you come too close to their nesting site. Note the surrounding plants are thistles !!
These twig and stick nests persist through the winter until the cormorant's return in the spring. This nest is adjacent to the Klein WPA of the Kulm Wetland Management District in McIntosh County, North Dakota.

Looks like the beginning of some sort of hornet's hive or nest. I found it on the sidewalk today--maybe blown there from its original spot by the recent winds. I thought it looked unoccupied, so I brought it home--very carefully, as it is paper thin and fragile.
This eagle nest is 3/4 of a mile west of the junction of Oregon highway 6 and Oregon 47 at Banks. This is on the south side of Oregon 6. There are most likely eggs in the nest and this one of the pair was standing guard. There was no eagle actually in the nest.
The nest looks about 2 years old. It is amazing that an eagle pair would build there nest right next to the highway. This is the main road between Portland and Tillamook and gets a lot of traffic.
Wasp's nest.
I found this in the smoker, which I didn't use for a while because warm weather is not good for smoking foods.
It is described as one of the most spectacular mountains in Colorado, with one of the most spectacular views. From the air, I could not disagree.
if you thought the view from my balcony was peaceful, think again... i felt guilty about chasing away the wood pigeons from their nest, but the crow trying to take over the magpies' nest didn't seem to have scruples. they chased the crow away, but it keeps trying.
