(Killdeer Eggs) - Beaver Lake Trail at Pocahontas State Park is a great place to see a little bit of everything. I had set out in the evening with the hopes of catching some beavers hard at work, but came across what I thought was an injured bird. Turns out this bird was the Killdeer, a type of plover that is well known for faking an injury to divert predators from their ground nest. These eggs are camouflaged and specifically designed to roll in a tight circular path so that if the do move they don’t venture too far from its original spot.
Until today I had never seen anything like this. You've no doubt seen the "Japanese Lantern" nests made by the bald-faced hornet. This is the beginning of such a nest. The fertilized queen winters over underground and then builds herself a nest chamber in the spring with a very long access tube. She raises her first brood of workers which will enlarge the nest throughout the season by stacking "pancakes" of egg cells along the length of the tube, and then covering everything over with chewed wood pulp. Creepy!
Attaching the HVAC system's wires to the base of the Nest is simple. Just push down the connector matching the wire flag and insert the wire into the hole.
More nests I made with vintage millinery leaves and flowers, old jewelry, buttons, doilies, birds, glitter and more. Hey, why NOT a ring bearer's nest?? Blogged about at lillysoflondonish.blogspot.com and huntingandpecking.blogspot. com, my new writing blog.

I'm hoping that these will provide nest sites for solitary bees next year - I'll have to wait and see...
Turkey Vultures simply lay their eggs in a crevice between boulders in talus slopes on remote mountainsides.

My friend Mark found an EMPTY nest in his property. I was really taken by the way the construction is! I also saw some bug shells around it. I guess the birdies ate well!
This day I wondered out to Crows Nest on Market Day. Every two months Rotary Club of North Sydney organise the Crows Nest Markets. They are pretty new at this game only being running it for some twenty odd years now!
Before I go into what Jenny has to say about Crows Nest I need to plug Rotary this group an many others like it are absolute back bones of many communities. Most people belonging to these clubs are older but they do so much for young people (I'm talking from those aged 0 - 40yrs of age). Just one example, I was in East Timor a few years back and we bumped into a whole bunch of Rotary members (many from the Northern Sydney areas). They provided us with about $2000 to help one of the project we were involved with, this enabled us to provide water tanks for a community. This is just one example of what they have done and continue to do.
Jenny has been a volunteer since she was a teenager and has been the past President of Rotary North Sydney twice before! One thing I notice is that Jenny didn't want the focus to be on her, she really wanted it to be on the work that Rotary do. I find that so true with many older people, its just not about them, its about everyone else. This day Jenny was behind the BBQ cooking up sausages and onion to sell at the markets, this money goes back to Rotary to help them fund their local community projects.
Jenny likes Crows Nest and loves the atmosphere of the markets. Its a day when the village square becomes the square for the village. Stall holders come out selling everything from craft to wonder mops. But there is one part of the market that Jenny has stitched up.....that is the BBQ, you will not find a simpler more enjoyable breakfast on that day, and to add to the feeling of goodwill what other breakfast can you buy that will help support the local community.
Thanks Jenny for sharing your story on Crows Nest.

This ring pillow was custom made by the etsy seller rainsend. The little nest is made of needle felted wool.
I don't know what bird built this nest ... too small for a robin.
I've blogged about this nest and others at:

We're pretty sure this was a bald eagle nest, maybe wth a bald eagle in it, but it was kind of a long way away.

Dipper in new nest box.
Put this up exactly a month ago, for GWagtail, with a Dipper box opposite it.
Dippers have half built in that box, then moved into the small one, with more nest material outside of the box than is in it !
Bird came out & only flew 20', another clutch of 5.
