This wren's nest was made in a hollowed-out gourd grown last summer. It contains two hatchlings one of which seems most eager for the return of mom who does so in time for my wife to take her second picture.
I found this nest unaware that it was a Mistletoe Bird nest. Either way I did not want to intrude or disrupt the nesting birds so I left it be after a quick photo. I was ecstatic to discover it to be a Mistletoe Bird nest. This nest is made from matted plant down and spider web. The female alone builds the nest and incubates the eggs.
I found this hornet nest in a tree , the hornets were buzzing in and out the nest. @Rome, Mo./ Douglas, County
A nest made by wasps. If you look at the large image you'll see the fibers from the paper pulp nests they make. I hate wasps, but this nest was cool to find abandoned.
Mother feeding young deep inside of a large cropping of rhododendrons in the US Pacific Northwest. Many predators here, but the plants grow densely and keep the owls, bobcats, and others away from the nest.
Nest of Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)

From Wikipedia, free encyclopedia:
Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) is a common and widespread sylviid warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe.
It is a robust typical warbler, mainly grey in plumage. Like most Sylvia species, it has distinct male and female plumages: The male has the small black cap from which the species gets its name, whereas in the female the cap is light brown. This small passerine bird is migratory, and northern and central European breeders winter in southern Europe and north Africa where the local populations are resident. It is hardier than most warblers, partly because it will readily eat small berries as well as the more typical warbler diet of insects. This is a bird of shady woodlands with ground cover for nesting. The nest is built in a low shrub, and 3–6 eggs are laid.
Our granddaughters were playing in a neighbor's front yard when they saw newly hatched baby birds and an apparently intact egg which had fallen out of a nest that had been constructed atop a wreath on the front door. Somehow the wreath had been rotated 90 degrees to the right, causing its contents to empty out. They quickly gathered the chicks and covered them in a cloth and called me. I suggested that they simply return the wreath to its original position and replace the hatchlings and egg in hopes that the parent bird would care for them. They thought that two of the chicks were not moving and could be dead. One chick was larger and more advanced. Could this have been asynchronous hatching or cowbird nest parasitism?

This pair of Eastern Bluebirds is defending their nest from Tree Swallows that would like to take it over.
Left side.
Oval shaped, 20-25cm long and 15cm wide.
Situated about 3 metres high in a Rondeletia bush.
Not sure what type of bird it belongs to but it appears to be a nest from last year and we did see a pair of brown doves hanging around that bush for a few months.
We both had to do balancing acts to get these pictures!
The nest failed about 3 weeks ago. There had been an intruder eagle clash 2 weeks ago, but I saw both resident eagles safe in their nest after the battle. On 22 February an adult was found incapacitated on the church property near the nest. The eagle died enroute to the rehab center. A necropsy is planned. Today no eagles were at the nest. An intruder, about 3 years old passed by. An adult eagle circled low over the nest and away out of my view. I hope the future brings the surviving eagle a strong mate.
