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.

I'm working on some nesting dolls. I'm not sure how many I'm going to make, but I'm having fun :) Plus I really like working with that yarn, and please notice my new hook from my new hook set! I LOVE it :)

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

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.

These Cape Cormorants were also in breeding mode at Stony Point (Betty's Bay), with lots of nest material offerings happening. They are such stunning birds, it is a pity about the harsh light which doesn't do them justice. It was also extremely windy the day we were there - knowing the Western Cape it probably often is like that - making it a struggle to keep the big lens pointing in the right direction. The good thing about the wind was it kept the smell down to bearable proportions.

The sticky silk is perfect for holding moss, lichen and other nesting material together.

Blue Tit taking nesting material in and out of my garden nest box. I only put this box up a few weeks ago so I'm delighted that a pair have moved in.

Yet another Collared Dove's nest on our Juliet balcony. I'm not sure if this is the 4th or 5th this year.
