Nesting generally occurs in a tree overhanging the water. The male starts building the nest before he

meets his mate. He gathers sticks and vegetation and places them in a tree. Once he has chosen a

mate, the female will finish the nest. Both parents incubate the eggs, usually from three to six, which

will hatch in about 30 days. When the chicks are born, they are blind with no feathers. After about six

weeks, they begin to grow feathers and then venture out on their own.

Found this nest at the Gatorland Rookery.

I’ve got a pair of pigeons nesting in my palm tree about 6ft from my living room window..

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.

.. for love!

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!!

a day in the countryside

This bald eagle at Land Between the Lakes was tending 3 eaglets in the nest. We never saw the mate in the couple of hours we were there but the babies were visible at times.

The Farne Islands.

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

I spruced up the nesting bowls I had painted using nail art stickers. I would like to find something shaped like the vintage pyrex dishes with the snowflakes and repaint it. When I don't want the snowflakes to show, I can just turn them around.

What good is a bird with broken wings

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.

Sat on her nest, a waiting game..
