Squeek would fetch twigs to line the nest. A real character.

This piece of metal is just above the dutch doors outside the garage loft. Every spring the House Sparrows move in. They fill the slot up with nesting material and raise their young.

We watched an active pair for about an hour. This was the only flight (in harsh light) as the male eagle brings a clump of grass back to the nest (much to the delight of the female).

LOOKING for feedback... which crop appeals to you more?

This is the same sandhill crane ruffled feathers as last post.

I have been watching this Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) nest ever since I found the scrape on June 18. There are now four eggs in the nest. This means they will hatch on or about July 10 plus minus 1 or so. I will monitor the nest as nothing is cuter that Killdeer chicks huddled under mother. The nest is in a dirt road in Jackson County, Colorado.

Sunday I went to Kohler-Andrae State Park and came across a number of nesting Canada geese couples settling in.

Today felt like summer here in Edmonton. The perfect day to visit Elk Island National Park. The trees were beautifully green, the wildflowers were in bloom, and I was lucky enough to capture some of the wildlife that call the park home.

Two spoonbills defending their nesting ground from the egret showing full breeding plumage.

The Roseate Spoonbill is 80 cm (31 in) tall, with a 120–130 cm (47–51 in) wingspan. It has long legs, a long neck, and a long, spatulate bill. Adults have a bare greenish head ("golden buff" when breeding[3]) and a white neck, back, and breast (with a tuft of pink feathers in the center when breeding), and are otherwise a deep pink. The bill is grey

I promised myself last week I wouldn't post anymore Norfolk coast pictures, but I can't resist this last one. I hope it conveys why a bird might find such a habitat so inviting - but, be rest assured, I'm not trying to suggest our feathered friends see colour like this!

I hope you like it!

Further along the coast this morning I spotted these Linnets gathering feathers presumably for nesting material. Weather change making them do an early start

Lake Merritt island, Oakland California

Each year bluetits come to nest in this oversized box. Last year the nest failed due to a very wet spring. Fingers crossed for this year.
