A Black Tern nests on a floating mud mound in the marsh wetland of Point Pelee National Park. They usually nest either on floating material in a marsh or on the ground very close to water, laying 2–4 eggs. Looking close at this photo reveals at least one of her eggs. Point Pelee National Park in Canada boasts a robust population of black terns.
Nesting Ospreys at EB Forsythe NWR.
In total I saw 8 separate active osprey nests and at least 14 ospreys on the salt marshes. There should be a bumper crop of ospreys this year.

Even though it seems to be very early to start building nests, a few eagles at Conowingo were working intently in gather sticks apparently for nests.
It is interesting to see how this large stick actually interfered with the wing feathers at it flew

So Adrienne and I are having a baby! This is a shot we did for the announcement! We went to City Park (in New Orleans) on various occasions to collect tree limbs and such and slowly constructed this full size nest using wire to hold it all together. Then we scouted the park for the perfect oak tree-basically a tree that forks out in the air that a nest could potentially sit on. These limbs are about 15 feet in the air, although we did not set the nest in them. Instead I photographed her in the nest on the ground, then used my telescopic pole to photograph the limbs from above, then combined the shots. Oh, and I also carved the giant egg out of styrofoam one day at work. It was a fun project! On a side note, as often as Adrienne and I go to the outdoors, it wasn't until this little project in the park that we got poison ivy. We will have to do another shot soon when we find out the baby's gender!

Hopefully we will see some little cygnets swimming around in the coming weeks.

The Doves have moved into the vacant nest that was built by the Robins earlier this summer. It's typical of Doves to inhabit the nests that have been abandoned by other birds.
See the previous shot for a description of the action. This one was taken from the clifftop (well back from the edge!) and shows a male trying to impress a female who has set up her stall in an old rabbit burrow which has been exposed by erosion.
"Nesting Pelican - Vertical" 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 particular ground nest was photographed along the Tamiami Trail near the Florida Everglades and appears to be a simple depressions lined with grass.
