...still 4! Planting new grasses I see. The old and withered ones she removes. Again, such a CLEAN nest!! :D
I was tugging at some bindweed, and wondered why there were suddenly a lot of wasps buzzing around. Turns out this nest was hanging from the tree about a foot away, and being shaken whenever I tugged!
Spring is coming. Pussy willows up north with last season's nest. Watercolour painting, photographed through glass - one of the many nests I have painted.

Both nests built by House Martins and refurbished over the years. But this year's nesting is a little different to other years.
A Wren has been roosting in one of the nests during winter, and this year a pair have produced youngsters - the picture shows a Wren on the left feeding them. And the other nest has House Martins who also have young.
Would be nice to have a photo of both feeding at the same time, but I don't have the patience :)
this bee hive is in my garden...its not much bigger than a tennis ball...but there must be about 100 bee's living in there....
This is what happens when you get close to a nest of Canada geese. They come rushing in, and hiss, and make all sorts of maneuvers. Mom-to-be glares at you, ready to tangle with you if you get any closer, while the future dad takes cover behind his wife, content to just look fierce.
The eggs were hidden under the leaves. Smart goose.
A wasp nest attached to a small tree beside Schwatka Lake made for an interesting subject against the sun's reflections in the water.
Black-nest Swiftlet - Aerodramus maximus - Черногнёздная салангана
Datai Forest, Pulau Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia, 03/04/2014
the nests of Synoeca have a characteristic appearance of overlapping "bags", which are expansions build at intervalls. The nest surface is a hard and corrugated "cardboard". Before staging a mass attack, these wasps are known to sound an alarm by producing a loud scraping sound inside the nest, not unlike the distant strumming of a guitar. From thence the local name of "guitarrera". If you hear a guitar in an unexpected situation: run!
Not the best photo of a gator ----- can you see her? ------ but a picture of the real world of the gator - you can see the female hiding back in the brush. She is defending her nest which I have just walked up to.....it is the mound of dirt, sticks and grasses in the foreground.....as I approached - she gave a major hiss and believe me....we stopped and tried to locate her as before she hissed and moved, we could not see her in the deep shade under the grass - in fact we did not know she was there - we had spotted the nest crawl (the trail she uses to get from the nest to the lake) as we drove the airboat down the shore.
We always tell kids the most dangerous part of a baby alligator or an egg......is Mom. Alas, in this nest there were no eggs.....she was still gravid and had not laid yet! Lesson learned - never bother a gravid (pregnant) female!
Two KCS ES44ACs lead the IC&E 272 train of 2-24-13 into Leaf River, IL, passing a treeline and a nest full of snow at the lower right of the picture.
Two of the three main trees with nest. The main Tree is not shown in this capture. All of these trees were blown down in a powerful storm so time ago. Shown is my 100-400mm canon L lens
P.S. This is where I almost stepped on a huge Rattlesnake
Interior structures from inside of a large yellow jacket nest. A smaller 3rd layer was also present but didn't fit in the picture.
I made this nest to go with the Birdy Mobile and there is a tute on my blog for making it. Eggs are actually silk worm cocoons.
The nest was built by a pigeon (whom my daughter christened “Sally”), who has returned here on a regular basis since we moved in. Let’s see if she comes back this year?
Remember that male Pseudomasaris I found hilltopping last week? Well, this is the kind of nest the female pollen wasp makes. The only species I am aware of that will attach its mud nest to a plant is Pseudomasaris vespoides. This is an old nest, as evidenced by the exit holes (an "active" nest will show no holes). Spiders may have built silken retreats in some of the vacant cells.
Bushtit nest (Psaltriparus minimus), Columbia Park Annex, Portland, Oregon - 8 April 2015. I tracked a bird carrying nesting material back to this rather conspicuous nest. The entrance hole is near the top of the image/nest. Linked to eBird checklist: ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S22760642
the tree is losing most of its leaves, fast, so the nest is becoming more exposed. Dad is always on patrol and keeps a close eye on me wherever I am in my yard. He is also pretty good at keeping cats away!
In 2007 Steve found the remains of this wasps' nest in our roof. Particularly intriguing is this inner paper sphere with a further layer of honeycomb stuff inside.
