Don't blame ME for the setting!!! You have heard of Mother Goose and the proverbial Silly Goose... Well, this girl is BOTH!! She has made a nest and laid ONE egg right on the shore of sunny Burlington Bay in a handicapped parking spot on the pier at the BSBC!!( Burlington Boating and Sailing Club) She sat, unphazed by me and my tripod and camera, never leaving her egg BUT she punished my disturbance of her peace and quiet by NEVER keeping her head still for more than a few seconds. I needed to be shooting a LOT faster but , as dinner was already way behind, I got what I could. I can go again in a couple of days, after the rain expected tomorrow

NESTING...

A rainbow lorikeet peers out from its nesting hollow.

Lake Renwick Heron Rookery is a unique site in Illinois where great blue herons, great egrets, black-crowned night herons, double-crested cormorants, and cattle egrets nest together. The site includes a 200-acre lake with several small islands used for nesting.

Prince William Sound, Alaska

A couple more for my bird album.

Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

There seem to be newly hatched chicks in there as I observed both parents bringing 'morsels' at regular intervals. Hope to get some shots of the babies too, but will have to wait till they grow up and start peeping out from the nest.

Note : The nest was lit by 'dappled' light filtering through the branches & leaves . . waited till the bird's head/neck was appropriately 'sunlit' and then took the picture.

Lakeshore Park

Nesting black-headed gulls. Minsmere, Suffolk.

Found a Hummingbird nest in my backyard and am guessing by the amount of time being spent in the nest she is probably sitting on some eggs. It was kind of a dark windy day today and the nest is at the bottom of a cedar branch that never stopped moving. Tomorrow it is supposed to rain but am hoping for a llittle more light on Friday so I can raise my shutter speed.

Pattern: Nesting Fabric Bowls by Nova available now!!

I used Ayumi's scrappy hourglass tutorial for the patchwork part.

Nesting Swan.It was re-arranging its nest to be more comfortable before sleeping a bit.

Nesting Osprey's on Highway 62 near Crater Lake National Park.

Bald Eagle nesting at Fir Island Reserve, Skagit Valley Washington.

At work near the pond there is a pair of geese that definitely have a nest. The female is always sitting there, and often ducks down to try to hide when anyone comes near. Luckily I have a long lens.

Not to worry, no nests were endangered with this. This photo was taken at the rookery at The Alligator Farm in St. Augustine with a long zoom lens. This beauty is nestled on the nest tucked in behind the flora.

April 3, 2021. Bald eagle stole a Great Heron nest for nesting.
