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.
Every year in June/July the Openbill storks come to Raigang Kulik Bird Sanctuary in hundreds for nesting
Found her nesting at the Eagleby wetlands, just outside Brisbane. Will have to go back soon and see if she produces any cygnets!!
Nesting pair of great blue herons, a sequence in the nest and then one leaving the nest to gather nesting materials or maybe food....
For the first time ever, a pair of robins built a nest in my maple tree. Crows were constantly trying to get into the maple tree, but the robins were vigilant and attacking the crows.

I'm starting a new plant. The old one didn't survive.
I thought I was done with stonechats, but this female was very tame. She was gathering dry grass, I assume for nesting material, and although she flushed from the path I was walking on, she stayed in the grass nearby, and let me come within 3-4 metres. I hope they do breed here, it would be good to see a male close, and the juveniles when they emerge.

Observed this nuthatch for a good while today going back and forth from it's nesting hole. It kept coming back with mud to line the entrance with
Hundreds, maybe thousands, of egrets and herons have returned to St Andrews State Park - Panama City Beach, Florida. They pose...preen...and strut...
Ospreys construct massive nests of large branches, on the tops of tall trees, usually very close to water. This picture shows the female on the nest. Male and female osprey are very similar in coloration, but the female's brownish "necklace" is more distinct (compare to the earlier post of the male osprey).
Seen in J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA.
A true test to see if the Nikkor 200-500MM F5.6 is sharp. You can decide for yourself. This bullfrog was nesting in an irrigation ditch not moving a muscle. It gave me the opportunity to photograph his amazing eye.

Rock squirrel gathering nesting material. Leigh and I watched this little beast for 20 minutes. She would run up to an old log next to the trail and stuff as much semi-rotten bark into her mouth as she could, then run down the hill to her nest hole in the ground. Presumably she's getting ready for baby season!
really crappy shots -- but look what we woke up to this morning :) Doves nesting in one of our pirate accoutrements on the back patio! There are a pair of house finches nesting in the palapa just a few feet from this. I can't imagine why birds are nesting at a house with four cats!?
Thought I would add a few more recent photos taken locally, before I start sorting and editing Day 5 photos from our trip to South Texas.
On 18 April 2019, I had to move my car out of the parking lot between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, so that the lot could be cleaned (dried mud and gravel from all the months of winter). This meant I would have to find something to do for all those hours, so a drive out of the city made the most sense.
The morning started off with looking for a Mountain Bluebird or two. I saw several and was lucky enough to get a few photos of both the male and female. Though the male is much more colourful, I always think the female has her own beauty. The only other birds I saw and photographed were a Rough-legged Hawk and a Tree Swallow. The latter was giving the Bluebird pair a rough time, often going close to the Bluebird nesting box and causing the male to come in for the attack. Much as I love Tree Swallows, too, they can easily go to a nearby empty box and build their nest there. In fact, two boxes are supposed to be placed close together for this very reason.
As it was still so early in the day, the thought of an early lunch at the Saskatoon Farm came into my mind. I thought I knew the way to get there, going eastwards. However, it took me ages to find the way, as roads have two numbers/names and this is so confusing. I then remembered that this had happened to me in this area once before, ages ago. Eventually, I did get as far as the Farm, where I enjoyed their delicious quiche. A short wander round the grounds gave me a few photo opportunities, but the gardens have not yet been planted with all their flowers.
Still too early to return home, so I drove a bit further south and made a quick visit to Frank Lake. So much water around the blind and practically no birds. A number in the far distance, but a Canada Goose and a couple of Coots were the only ones near the blind. Things will get much better as time goes by. It was also very windy.
Mama robin decided to build a nest in an odd spot - on a railing of a boardwalk in the middle of a park where a lot of people walk by. Probably kept most of the predators away, though.

Oscar makes his way through some nesting material provided by the staff. His head is inside a small cave created by rocks stacked in his habitat. I thought his tail looked nice with the other texture.
This is the 3000th photo I have added to Flickr. When I first started posting here, I had no idea just much I would become absolutely passionately into all things photography. Every day is a school day, so I make a point of trying to learn something new about photography every day, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it always turns out to be something that has helped. I hope you enjoy having a look not just at this photo but at all the others going back to the very beginning.
