Song Sparrows are nesting at all my favorite sparrow spots. The old machinery made a nice singing perch.
'a new home' make take three or four days to build with spiders silk being the key to holding all those different materials together....their eggs are so tiny that it takes at least one hundred to make an omelet...the largest humming bird lays an egg weighing 1.4 grams (smallest .4) with a large chicken egg weighting forty times that....

ODC- Nest/Nesting
I have a family of House Sparrows nesting in the pipes outside of the garage loft. You can see the straw hanging down from underneath. They do this every year.
This was taken with my 180MM macro lens so it is really a fine lens for distance also... The nesting boxes are high up on these old snags in the wetlands so that in the winter they will be above the water that floods the area...
Deux pygargues à tête blanche au nid.
Ils nichent entre février et avril.
J'ai quand même été surprise de les voir. Il faisait -25C ce matin.
Two bald eagles nesting. Their reproduction period last from February to April.
I was surprise to see them in their nest. We had -25C early this morning.
"Shame on the Moon" is a song written by Rodney Crowell and first recorded for his eponymous 1981 album. It was subsequently covered by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, as the lead single from their 1982 album The Distance. Glenn Frey joins Seger on background harmony vocals on the song. The song spent four weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and topped the adult contemporary chart. The song also went to number 15 on the country chart in early 1983, marking Seger's only Top 40 entry on that chart.
Do you see what I see? It was harder to get this shot than I would have thought. I could have used an even bigger zoom lens, and well traffic. This mourning dove is still resting here upon my last drive by. I wonder what she thinks of all the bright green lights every so often.
An ‘alae ‘ula constructs a nesting site in marsh embankment vegetation. The ‘alae ‘ula is an endangered, Hawaiian endemic subspecies of the common moorhen or gallinule. In Hawaiian mythology, the red shield is the result of scorching received while bringing fire from deities to humans.
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Galah
Scientific Name:Eolophus roseicapillus
Description: The Galah can be easily identified by its rose-pink head, neck and underparts, with paler pink crown, and grey back, wings and undertail. Birds from the west of Australia have comparatively paler plumage. Galahs have a bouncing acrobatic flight, but spend much of the day sheltering from heat in the foliage of trees and shrubs. Huge noisy flocks of birds congregate and roost together at night.
Similar species: The Galah is generally unmistakable, but in flight may resemble aGang-gang Cockatoo in shape.
Distribution: The Galah is one of the most abundant and familiar of the Australian parrots, occurring over most of Australia, including some offshore islands.
Habitat: The Galah is found in large flocks in a variety of timbered habitats, usually near water.
Feeding: Galahs form huge, noisy flocks which feed on seeds, mostly from the ground. Seeds of grasses and cultivated crops are eaten, making these birds agricultural pests in some areas. Birds may travel large distances in search of favourable feeding grounds.
Breeding: Galahs form permanent pair bonds, although a bird will take a new partner if the other one dies. The nest is a tree hollow or similar location, lined with leaves. Both sexes incubate the eggs and care for the young. There is high chick mortality in Galahs, with up to 50 % of chicks dying in the first six months. Galahs have been recorded breeding with other members of the cockatoo family, both in the wild and captivity. These include the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, C. galerita.
Calls: The voice is a distinctive high-pitched screech, 'chi-chi'.
Minimum Size: 35cm
Maximum Size: 36cm
Average size: 36cm
Average weight: 337g
Breeding season: February to July in the north; July to December in the south
Clutch Size: 3 to 4

This bald eagle jettisoned some nesting material it had in it's talons just before arriving at it's nest in Indian River County near Vero Beach, Florida.

A pair of Northern fulmars nest among the sea pinks and grasses on a small ledge on the steep cliff below Sumburgh Head, Shetland, Scotland. Fulmars are monogamous, long-lived birds that return to the same nest site year after year. They protect their nest by projectile vomiting a vile smelly goo at predators.

The early bumblebee or early-nesting bumblebee (Bombus pratorum), is one of, but not necessarily the earliest bumblebee to emerge from hibernation - sometimes as early as February.
It is a small bumblebee with a wide distribution in most of Europe and parts of Asia. Often in gardens and visits a range of shrubs and perennials, especially raspberries and blackberries.
The queen is 15-18 mm, workers are 9-14 mm and males are 11-13 mm. The front part of the thorax is covered with yellow hairs, even though the thorax may be covered with yellow hairs entirely, especially in males.
De weidehommel (Bombus pratorum) is een kleine soort hommel, die veel in Nederland, bijna heel Europa en delen van Azië, voorkomt. De habitat bestaat uit weidegebieden, lichte bossen, tuinen en parken. Deze soort komt op vele planten voor, maar zit vroeg in het jaar op wilgen, bolgewassen, longkruid en later in het jaar op kruisbessen, braam, framboos en wilgenroosje.
Weidehommels hebben net als de aardhommel twee gele banden maar met een geel, oranje of rood/ achterstuk in plaats van wit. Ook kunnen de gele banden minder duidelijk zijn of zelfs geheel ontbreken. Mannetjes van de weidehommels zijn duidelijk meer geel behaard (kop, achterrand van het borststuk en grote delen van het achterlijf) dan de werksters. De koningin is 15 à 18 mm, de werkster 9 à 14 mm en het mannetje 11- à 13 mm lang.
Een volgroeide kolonie van de weidehommel bestaat uit 50 tot 200 werksters. Het nest zit bovengronds in composthopen en vogelnesten, maar ook onder stenen.
