Second in my series of nesting birds we observed at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
This American Coot nest didn't conform to the norm. Here's what the Cornell Lab says about coot nests: "Nests are almost always built over water on floating platforms and almost always associated with dense stands of living or dead vegetation such as reeds, cattails, bulrushes, sedges, and grasses."
This nest was far from any living or dead vegetation and was far from the edge of the lake.
SoCal. These herons provided lots of opportunities to work on my camera technique as they predictably harvested nesting material from an area close to their nests. I still had a tough time getting them in focus.
A turtle takes a break after carefully digging a nest for her eggs on a sandy beach by Lake Erie in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada.
In the summer of 2001, as a present to myself, I purchased a Canon FD 200 mm bayonet mount lens. This roll of film was my first test roll shot with it. I still have the lens and regard it as one the best in my collection.
Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2001.

"Egret Nesting Silhouette" by Patti Deters. An adult Great White Egret (Ardea alba) perches near her tree top nest with three baby chicks looking expectantly, probably hoping for some supper. This dark navy silhouette, created from my own photograph, is framed against a digital texture sunset background with shades of blue, pink, purple, and a bit of green.

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.

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.

Two of three Australian Paper Wasps (Polistes humilis) have recently reoccupied an old nest. A third wasp prefers to hide behind the nest.

I have noticed these birds collecting lots of nesting materials lately.
A Jackdaw collecting nesting material
The Jackdaw is Britain’s smallest black crow ( a family of birds collectively known as corvids), which also includes ravens, crows, rooks, jays and magpies. With a distinctive silvery sheen to the back of its head. The pale eyes are also noticeable. The jackdaw call is a familiar hard ‘tchack’ from which it gets its name. It will commonly nest in chimneys, buildings, rock crevices and tree holes. Jackdaws can be found in fields, woods, parks and gardens. They’re social birds and roost communally in woodlands. They’re widespread and common across the UK, except the Scottish Highlands. British birds are mostly resident, though upland breeding birds migrate south and west to lowland regions and Ireland for the winter. Meanwhile, the wintering population is increased by immigrants from northern Europe, which arrive along the east coast in the autumn.
