Nesting season continues here in South Florida where most blue herons and white egrets have already fledged for the season. Other birds, like this glossy ibis and wood storks are in the midst of incubating eggs or tending to their hatchlings. It's a great time to get a closer look at these amazingly beautiful descendants of the dinosaurs.
New Jersey Eagle Project
Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered & Nongame Species Program, is releasing results of the 2019 NJ Bald Eagle nesting season.
2019 was a record year for NJ eagles with the highest number of active nests and young fledged in the history of the project. This year, 238 eagle nests were monitored, of which 189 were active (laid eggs) and 248 young fledged. This is the highest number of fledges ever, surpassing the previous high of 216 in 2016.

A colourful mix of blue, yellow, white and green makes the blue tit one of our most attractive and most recognisable garden visitors.Blue tits nest in crevices in all sorts of surfaces. This includes tree trunks and wallsBlue Tits nested in non-excavated holes with narrow openings, typically in live trees, which reduced both the risk of nest predation and of nest soaking.
The rookery at High Island, Texas is teeming with egrets, spoonbills and a few other species during the spring breeding season.
A quick record shot when I spotted this Bald Eagle hauling newly cut hay to it's nest. It seems late to be putting a nest together but perhaps the first eggs failed and they are making another try at it.
Pretty soon things will resume to normal in the garden
As the Bluetits are on the home run, feeding their young,
Things just won’t be the same and all of a sudden it will feel so quiet.
This bird is nesting inside a multiflora rose bush with a lot of sharp thorns.
What a smart little bird!

Yeah, it was hard getting my little birdie in and out of that nest! Sharp sharp thorns!
..for many days, while Dad stands guard, the Mother duck will hunt for the perfect spot in the marsh for her nest.
"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.
This Swan chose to build in an incredibly precarious position, on a tiny channel braiding island. One period of heavy rain and its nest with eggs would be gone. I never got back to see how they did as it was Covid time.
My little nymph prefers to sleep outside in an old bird nest then inside in a warm blanket. I'm always finding her hiding in the bushes or playing in the rain. I swear she just tolerates living with me. :I
'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....
Finally able to see and photograph an Eastern Screech-Owl in a natural cavity rather than a nesting box. This particular owl looked to be a red morph but seems to be have both red and gray in its plumage. Observed in Will County, Illinois.
