Bird nest at the front porch of my Brother-in-law's house. Mama will let me within a few feet before flying off. I will put up a picture of the eggs soon.

This mistle thrush nests in a bit of old guttering in my friend Nick's noisy woodshed every year

This is an egg which can collect your clip, and it needs you to build a nest for it, with your clip and love, just like its mother.

這是一顆蛋，一顆收納迴紋針的蛋。

請用你的迴紋針和愛為它築一個巢，像母鳥一樣。

These nests were collected over years, from cut-down trees, blown out of trees, etc. Now I'm giving them back to nature...

Love watching these gorgeous white storks rearranging their enormous nests!

(Thank goodness for archives! Miserable, grey, foggy and cold here........!)

Taken at Rookery Point, South Georgia. The males had only just arrived back from a winter at sea and the colony was strangely very quiet. Macaroni colonies are very noisy later in the breeding season. Many were busy repairing last years nests.

This bird nested in the middle of a preschool playground. They coned it off.

What is really amazing about this is that the hummingbird made a nest in a wind chime. It was moving most of the time I was taking photos.

A Chipping Sparrow nest fell from the cotoneaster bush while mowing the other day. It doesn't seem to be finished. It's a beautiful small nest , finley woven with Besss' hair incorporated in it.

Tiny 1-inch nests in different stages of doneness :) Playing around with the settings on my camera and I'm really happy with the DOF on these shots.

I believe this is the nest of the moss carder bumblebee (Bombus muscorum) which, unlike other bumblebees, nests on the surface rather than underground.

I put the highlighter there to give an indication of scale. It didn't worry the bees, which still kept coming and going

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaver The Weavers are small passerine birds related to the finches.

These are seed-eating birds with rounded conical bills, most of which breed in sub-Saharan Africa, with fewer species in tropical Asia and also in Australia. The weaver group is divided into the buffalo, sparrow, typical, and widow weavers. The males of many species are brightly coloured, usually in red or yellow and black, some species show variation in colour only in the breeding season.

Weaver birds, also known as weaver finches, get their name because of their elaborately woven nests (the most elaborate of any birds'), though some are notable for their selective parasitic nesting habits. The nests vary in size, shape, material used, and construction techniques from species to species. Materials used for building nests include fine leaf-fibers, grass, and twigs. Many species weave very fine nests using thin strands of leaf fiber, though some, like the buffalo-weavers, form massive untidy stick nests in their colonies, which may have several spherical woven nests within. The sparrow weavers of Africa build apartment-house nests, in which 100 to 300 pairs have separate flask-shaped chambers entered by tubes at the bottom. Most species weave nests that have narrow entrances, facing downward.

The weavers are gregarious birds which often breed colonially. The birds build their nests together, often several to a branch. Usually the male birds weave the nests and use them as a form of display to lure prospective females. The weaver bird colonies may be found close to water bodies. They sometimes cause crop damage, notably the Red-billed Quelea, reputed to be the world's most numerous bird.

we found 2 of these tiny nests being guarded by a solitary wasp. Portugal west of Lagos.

These nests were collected over years, from cut-down trees, blown out of trees, etc. Now I'm giving them back to nature...

First time I ever saw a wasps nest. Very interesting disigns. They appear to be continuing to build on it. View on large size

This is a nest of eastern cottontail, Sylvilagus floridanus. While doing spring cleaning on some of my landscaping back in early April, I found this rabbit nest. Watch for shots soon of the mother nursing the babies.

My grandfather built us 4 bluebird boxes last year, and we finally got around to putting them up! We got the first pair within a week, and now all but one have nests in them.

This is trhe 3rd wasp nest we have had outside our front door. And then their genociding killing by me of them. This nest stung me the day before the bastards

Last night I saw a snapping turtle making a nest just off the Songbird Pond pathway.

Today I looked across the pond and saw another next apparently being prepared. Same turtle? It's hard to say ans the light last night at 8:15 p.m. was much different than the light this morning.

These turtles lay hundreds of eggs and they will be very vulnerable and a great majority won't survive.

I just realized when I look at the Large version that this turtle is covered with mud, making it look VERY different.

The Tigers Nest is located 500 meters up the mountain on the edge of cliff.

The Tigers Nest is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex, located in the cliffside of the upper Paro valley, in Bhutan. A temple complex was first built in 1692, around the Taktsang Senge Samdup (stag tshang seng ge bsam grub) cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours in the 8th century. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan
