at the end of a dock at the marina.
I thought it was interesting to see this on top of a marina piling; notice the wires to shelter the purple martins from larger predatory birds.
Quite cool, actually.
Spent an hour or so with mak3154 photographing the Oxford Island house martins gathering mud and nesting materials.
A Red-crowned Parrot, enlarging a cavity for nesting. These are one of 13 species of feral parrots which have at one time been reported in in the Los Angeles area.
Take a look at The California Parrot Project for some fascinating information on these birds.
It did occur to me, as I was uploading this image, that many of my contacts are still in the midst of winter. I hope a nesting neo-tropical bird turns everyone's thoughts to spring and not shooting the photographer!

Viewed from canoe by the so called bird island, actually named Bergin Island. To view the red eye better click on the image for larger view. Other Night Herons nesting up on this tree posted below…
I have some nesting Blackbirds right outside my office window, I am going to enjoy the distraction over the next few weeks.
A Razorbill (Alca torda) nesting on a single rock in the cliffs outside of the ferry harbor of Vestmannaeyjar or Westman Islands of Iceland. Razorbills mate for life. They come ashore only to lay a single egg and rear a single chick, then spend the rest of the year at sea.
On our way to my friend's sister's house in Sudbury we stopped to see if we could find the swans on the river. They weren't in their usual place but we eventually found them. They have chosen a very unusual place to build a nest, which I will reveal tomorrow.
Found her nesting at the Eagleby wetlands, just outside Brisbane. Will have to go back soon and see if she produces any cygnets!!
