Green Heron (Butorides virescens). Cullinan Park, Sugar Land, Texas.

This is a nesting Mourning Dove (I'm pretty sure). The mourning dove is one of the most common birds in the United States, with a population estimated to be 350 million (there are only 331 million humans in the United States). The oldest recorded mourning dove lived over 30 years (it was banded in 1968 and taken out by a hunter in 1998, so it didn't even die of natural causes). All my fun facts come from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology web site.

I saw this Sacred Ibis sitting on the nest last weekend when I took a short walk at a park. It wasn't easy to focus as he or she was partially hidden behind the greenery. Sacred Ibis are a rather rare sight here as they are native to sub-Saharan Africa. In current heat wave they probably feel very much at home here, though.

Managed to capture a couple of images of this tiny Spotted Pardalote gathering some nesting material this morning.

He was quite active and fortunately for me, kept returning back to the same tree to gather more bark and material for the nest.

Hope you like this!!

Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - most appreciated!!

Hope you all have a fantastic day and week!!

Seen high above on a street in Bridlington .

We came across two Robins the other day, at Lackford Lakes, a Suffolk Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve. One, the female, was collecting nesting material and the other one, a male presumably, was singing for a mate.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

Purple Gallinule, Porphyrio martinica. Sitting in the same place day after day, so maybe nesting.

Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)

I hadn't been past the Vic Uni Pond since last Wednesday. This morning I found one of the adults apparently sitting on a new nest. I will have to keep an eye on them.

Red-Shouldered Hawk nesting. Natural frame with this photo, too! I think this is the most endearing shot of her on the nest. I have a couple others to post still, and almost did a multiple upload of them today but changed my mind. Save them for when I'm not out taking photos . . .

Thanks for Viewing.

I was amazed to see that our pair of swans at a local country park have built their nest this year right next to the footbridge near the play area. The female seemed quite undisturbed by the nearby noise or me and my camera as I lay sprawled on the bridge. It was impossible to get wider angles as I was shooting through the fence and only had my 100mm lens. What a treat to be so close to such beauty in the warm light just before sunset.

We went for a drive and stopped off at the Bowral cemetery. We went for a wander looking at the gravestones, trees, flowers and birds. We discovered a noisy miner nest with a pair of adults working hard with three hungry babies to feed. It was a very well constructed nest.

The eagles are busy rebuilding the nest after Hurricane Ian hit the coast of Florida. I am pretty sure this is Harriet.
