I try to save the nests we find on the ground.

A brief visit to the Farne Island allowed me to add a few more bird images to my gallery. This Puffin was flying straight towards me with a beak full of nesting material.

My children may not have everything they want in life, but they have a Mom who loves them more than anything in the world

THE NATIONS FAVOURITE BIRD! Bold and inquisitive, strongly and conspicuously territorial, unmistakable with its striking orange-red face, throat and breast. Have a pair nesting in a hedge. Is it me, but they are on the increase, everywhere you go, town or countryside you see a robin, and so trusting!! AND I LOVE THEM! ( 14 cm in length )

Came across this while walking the other week, not a great photo as I just took a quick snap because I didn't want to disturb anything, but thought I would share anyway.

Looking for a nature competition entry.

Came across this shot .

Didn’t use it .

Gotta love it when a lifer poses in it's typical nesting habitat. Prothonotary Warblers are cavity nesters and there were plenty of tree cavities in the area. They love swampy woodlands & this wetlands section qualifies. Their nickname is swamp warbler. The vegetation below it is aquatic and that is water in the upper left corner of this shot. This guy was taking a break from chasing a rival around the prime territory to forage for insects in the vegetation below him.

Took this blackbird into monochrome as it was coming in with its nesting material.

When in Victoria, I went for a walk with my 90 year old mother-in-law through Rithet's Bog. She saw the nest in the tree before I did. Then she told me that since she's gone for walks with me and my camera, she sees the world through new eyes. Made me feel good :)

It's spring! Time for birds to build nests.

Wren collecting feathers for nesting

I have topped this nesting material up three times so far, and the tits, and I have even seen the robin, are still pulling out tuffs to use in their nests.

"Nesting Pelican - Texture" by Patti Deters. This Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is sitting on her nest in a swampy marshy wetland. The male is the one to select the site of the nest, then the female does the building while the male gathers progressively smaller sticks for her. She moves and pushes sticks with her bill to form a comfortable nest cup. The male brings new material for the female to add throughout incubation and may even rearrange the nest. Pelican nests can measure up to 30 inches across. Both parents incubate the eggs and care for the young. This ground nest appears to be a simple depressions lined with grass. A light canvas texture overlay has been applied for artistic interest.

I had an extremely epic adventure driving to Southern Oregon over the weekend. One of the first highlights was getting to see these MOBL in their nesting environment. I simply cannot wait to return!

Great Blue Herron nesting season, Northern Ohio

A couple of cats sleeping in the sun at the side of the canal in Mirfield

Shot this last Thursday - there were lots of Cormorants flying nesting materials to nests in the underside of the Burrard and Granville Street bridges.

I found the dry lavandula

I felt the sensation of nesting

I picked up the leaves and the hedera

I reaped the rose fruit

I made the liquidambar leaves branch

I composed the nest

I photographed

And in the end it flew away...

It was cool to see so many Cormorants and Gulls nesting on this island in Lenore Lake

Hmm, Maybe I should post an owl - no one cares about Herons lol...

Found this Tree Swallow busily collecting nesting materials before all the rain hit this week...

Moorhens are sometimes known as the "skitty coots"

The name moorhen is misleading and is, in fact, a corruption of mirehen or marshhen, which gives a much truer picture of its natural habitat. Since, however, it is essentially a wild bird of an independent nature, it usually keeps its distance from human intruders and, except in severe weather, does not join the rush for social security handouts of crumbs so eagerly accepted by the tamer members of the duck population.
