A quick photo of a nesting doll that I'm working on. It isn't finished, but thought I'd share anyways. I'm also organizing a nesting doll exchange. More details here.
In summer the Farne Islands off the northeast coast of England are visited by vast colonies of nesting guillemots.
Nesting pair of great blue herons, a sequence in the nest and then one leaving the nest to gather nesting materials or maybe food....
Ma goose settled in on her marshland nest at the Springbrook Nature Center - Anoka County, Minnesota.
Lets get this bundle straight! This female in mid flight stopped to get a better grip on this nesting material. WSR
Oregon Coast
Cannon Beach is a small coastal city in northwest Oregon. It’s known for its long, sandy shore. Standing tall in the ocean, Haystack Rock is a seasonal haven for tufted puffins.
On a headland to the north, trails in Ecola State Park offer sweeping views of the ocean, coves and a lighthouse. South is Arcadia Beach, with tide pools and a picnic area. Nearby Hug Point has sea caves. Boutiques and galleries dot downtown.
Haystack Rock is a 235-foot (72-meter) sea stack in Cannon Beach, Oregon. It is sometimes claimed locally to be the third-tallest such "intertidal" (meaning it can be reached by land) structure in the world, but there are no official references to support this.
A popular tourist destination, the monolithic rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot at low tide. The Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including starfish, sea anemone, crabs, chitons, limpets, and sea slugs. The rock is also a nesting site for many sea birds, including terns and puffins.

Great horned owl, Bubo virginianus, back in her usual nesting spot at the Wildflower Center, Austin. This is the 9th or 10th year in a row.

A female Osprey arrives back at the nest where her mate has been taking a turn sitting on their eggs. Taken back on 4-18-2009 on the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell, New Jersey. I am told that both Osprey nests that I was following at the reservoir have been destroyed by storms this Fall/Winter. I hope both Osprey couples can find nesting areas to replace those they lost when they arrive back from their Winter home down south.
For more information on the Manasquan Reservoir, visit their web site at this web site.

I blended two background textures from the new commercially available texture pack "Playground of the birds" from Distressed Textures to give this the mood I was looking for. The image is a bit of a heavy crop but I like the eye contact between the two Ospreys. A sort of non-verbal communication that is clearly going on.
It is like another world: limestone tufa towers rise like strange stalagmites out of the still, salty lake waters in California’s Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve.
The lake is a mecca for birds and bird watchers. Since the mid-1980s, osprey pairs have been nesting on tufa towers in Mono Lake. Although the raptors are fish-eaters – and therefore have to hunt for food further afield – the tufa-islands provide nesting sites that ground-based predators can’t access.
