They come back here every year to raise their babies. The sign explains why. So many insects for feeding those babies.

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!
In this photo, taken in early July, is of a Tundra Swan on her nest on the tundra beach. The water in the background is the Beaufort Sea, which is in the Arctic Ocean. The nest is built high off the tundra to give insulation to her eggs and eventually chicks.

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.
i don't only take photos of people :)
I want to thank all those people who commented and faved my last photo
I hope you guys had a wondeful weekend!
We have a busy Wren visiting our garden. He's building one of the many nests in a tree by our garden. He'll build several nests in different parts of his territory and hope that one of them will satisfy a mate. Fingers crossed that she picks the nest in our garden ?
"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.

Archive from April 2016, Marika settled on her nest and in second frame, standing over her treasured 5 eggs. Visitors would stand along the barrier mesh fence, waiting for that magical moment when she'd get up, revealing how many eggs she had laid up to that point
Swan eggs are really big, so they only lay one every 1 1/2 or 2 days; this is so the swan can fly if essential. If she had to carry more than one egg at a time, she wouldn't be able to take flight.
A Red-shafted Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) digs a hole in a tree to make a nest.
"Northern Flickers are large, brown woodpeckers with a gentle expression and handsome black-scalloped plumage. On walks, don’t be surprised if you scare one up from the ground. It’s not where you’d expect to find a woodpecker, but flickers eat mainly ants and beetles, digging for them with their unusual, slightly curved bill. When they fly you’ll see a flash of color in the wings – yellow if you’re in the East, red if you’re in the West – and a bright white flash on the rump.". - www.allaboutbirds.org

Spring brings these geese to locate a safe nesting spot to lay their eggs. this on found this nice secluded pond.
I watched this GC Grebe diving for nesting material. He/she kept bringing it over to a fallen tree and half heartedly placed it on a branch. As soon as its back was turned it fell off and sank to the bottom again.
Male Reed Bunting making it's way up the stem of the now blown Bulrush to collect nesting material for the upcoming breeding season.

A Northern Gannet nesting on a rocky outcrop on Bempton Cliffs.
The adult Northern Gannet or Gannet are large and bright white with black wingtips and an Orange head. They are distinctively shaped with a long neck and long pointed beak, long pointed tail, and long pointed wings. At sea they flap and then glide low over the water, often travelling in small groups.
