We watched for over an hour from a little before 8:00 AM. It was cloudy and 70 degrees (F) with a mild breeze from the west. It had rained during the early morning hours. When we arrived we found no adult eagle on or near the nest. The female was drying her wings in the dead Melaleuca grove to the west of the wooded area. The wind picked up and shifted to the NW and the eagle shifted into the wind. A light rain started falling as we departed. At no time did we see any eaglet. A couple of other watchers arrived just as we departed, so I hope they were able to visualize a prey drop and maybe determine whether there is another eaglet in the nest. Please post your observations on Pembroke Pines Eagle Nest Watch FORUM: bald-eagles-of-broward-county-florida.1638815.n2.nabble.c...

Interesting hive/nest formation, found in the female giant tortoise enclosure at the Charles Darwin Research Station.
The lower portion of this Western Larch holds the new nest site.
It is an old raptor nest, likely that of a Northern Goshawk
No activity seen around the nest, but as we were leaving, we saw one of the Eagles perched in a nearby treetop.
Mr. & Mrs. Finch were close to the nest when I came in from work, really chattering, trying to get the last two chicks to take flight. Apparently they were a bit apprehensive about the whole flight thing. Several Finches were flying around in the trees with new chicks, so ours weren't the only ones with kids testing their little wings.
You can see, the nest is now empty, and none of the ones off the nest are hiding elsewhere.
We saw Mr. & Mrs. Finch flitting around the tree with a couple chicks hopping from branch to branch, so hopefully all will survive.
Wonder how the load of nitrogen (from their feces) will affect the geraniums?

The egg(s) have hatched at First Nest. In the first photo you can see Mom Kate leaning over to feed her (unseen) chick. IN the other photos you can see Dad Petruchio has brooding responsibility and Mom Kate is bringing in new nesting material for the egg cup. Proud Parents!!!
Sparrows nest at the farm every year in the same nests. This was close to the end of summer when the offspring can fly already, just before migration starts. If you see the picture in large size you can see their cute eyes.
Point Pelee National Park - While hundreds of bird watchers and photographers streamed by in search of something more exotic, I balanced precariously on a park bench to get my first "robin on nest" shot of the season.

I thought I had seen many types of bird nests but this one was huge, it was made by Weaver birds and is in fact a complete colony. They continually add new nests as well as improving existing ones, this causes the nest to get increasingly heavier until the branch snaps off the tree. At this point the whole process starts again in a new tree or on another branch of the same tree.
Fox squirrel building a nest: spoiler alert. She drops the second twig and pretends she doesn't. Remind you of anyone you know?;-)

Many of you put comments in our visitor book after having watched the nest on our Big Screen at Whinlatter and have seen in detail into the lives of our birds. We do read and take note of them, both praises and criticisms. It is very heartening to all the team to read how much people have enjoyed their visit and to see the range of reaction that the birds provoke, touching minds and hearts. We feel the same way too. These are a few quotes that sum it up.
‘Wonderful and interesting’
‘Could sit and watch all day '
‘Fabulous, saw change-over on nest'
‘I wish I could be here for the hatching'
‘We look forward to seeing this wonderful set-up each year when we visit the lake District. We are always amazed at the knowledge of the Volunteers and each year we always learn something new.’
And we'd like to reply;
With words like these it shows that you visitors are the best ambassadors for the birds and wildlife, so go out now, comment to everyone you meet and hook a few more hearts! Thank you everyone.
Reykjavik, Iceland - Keflavik Airport
The artwork is designed by Magnús Tómasson. The Jet Nest shows a big steel egg where a jet wing is peeking out like a little bird breaking out of it's egg. The piece is very simbolic where it stands on a pile of Icelandic rocks. Magnús Tómasson , the designer, says that the idea first came to him many years ago. "I was working on a series on the history of birds mentioning a small egg and on it a small beek appears. I worked on it some more and the outcome was the Jet Nest, my biggest piece."
These nests were collected over years, from cut-down trees, blown out of trees, etc. Now I'm giving them back to nature...
