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.

This is another shot of the female Vermillion Flycatcher from the Rocking R6 Ranch. This ranch is located about 20 miles north of Larado, Texas and is well worth the trip to visit.
Nesting platforms in the 'open' enclosure in the bird park near Bugibba have all been adopted by spoonbills. I couldn't be certain but I think there were eggs in at least one of the nests.These are African spoonbills (pink faces) that are not listed on Maltese bird lists and certainly not as breeders. It will be interesting to see if they manage to colonise using the bird park as a base.
This bird was nesting in a garden area on the University of Memphis campus. It became upset as I inched closer.

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

"Northern Flickers usually excavate nest holes in dead or diseased tree trunks or large branches. In northern North America look for nests in trembling aspens, which are susceptible to a heartrot that makes for easy excavation. Unlike many woodpeckers, flickers often reuse cavities that they or another species excavated in a previous year. Nests are generally placed 6-15 feet off the ground, but on rare occasions can be over 100 feet high. Northern Flickers have been known to nest in old burrows of Belted Kingfishers or Bank Swallows"
