a new project- handbound journal featuring Nesting illustration on the cover and newly designed pattern for the endpapers
She was definitely keeping her eye on me. I was going to cross the plank to get over to the small island where she is but after reading about how aggressive they are during nesting, I am glad I didn't.
Interesting to see the obvious marine plastic incorporated into the nesting material.
I published a short thread on Twitter pointing to the research on the prevalence of plastics in Northern Gannet nests at Cape St. Mary's.
14.5 – Sew Not a Square – Challenge 5 of Project QUILTING Season 14
I made these small nesting pouches for the challenge to sew something without any squares. I love these little dumpling pouches for storing small things. I have given pouches like these to many friends who carry them in purses, suitcases, etc. The pattern is my adaptation of the Dumpling Pouch I originally found here

Common Raven heading to the nesting site. Interestingly, its mate was right behind it (too far for a photo of both) and also had a beak stuffed with the finer nesting materials.
- It seems every time I see a Blackbird lately they are either carrying insects or nesting materials. This female in particular had a fantastic selection. Drew's Pond, Devizes.
Another sign of spring around the Tucson area. I found this Morning Dove nesting with two eggs, in the crotch of a Saguaro skeleton against the wall of an adobe home in my neighborhood. She definitely had an eye on me as I snapped off some shots ...
We first noticed the mute swan on the nest on April 11, although I'm not sure if eggs had been laid yet. Last year's hatch was the first week in June, and the incubation period for Mute Swans is 34-45 days.
Until today, we had only seen this pair on the lake, nesting on the same site as last year. Tonight, however, there were 6 swans on the lake, more than we have ever seen here.
For those new to my photos, please check out my Swans album for previous years.
This sculpture is installed at the north end of the new Martin's Point Bridge that connects Falmouth with Portland Maine, It replaces an older bridge from witch the metal rebar was used to make the nest.
Artist Wendy Klemperer of Nelson, New Hampshire, oversaw installation of a nesting osprey sculpture near the Falmouth approach to the Martin's Point Bridge on Friday, Oct. 31. Klemperer created the 75-pound piece of art in 2012 from weathered, salvaged steel; it was originally displayed at Maine Audubon in Falmouth. She made the nest, which weighs about 2,000 pounds and is 8 feet in diameter, over the last two weeks from reclaimed rebar from the old Route 1 bridge between Portland and Falmouth. The piece is considered a good fit for the area, since osprey are known to frequent the location. (Website)
Nesting, Great Blue Heron,
with 2 young chicks.
Think you have it tough ?
Try bringing up the kids in a windblown dead cypress tree in the middle of a alligator infested swamp and people pointing cameras at you while Vultures circle overhead.

Punakaiki Rocks on the West Coast, our third day of my friends from the UK, trip around the South Island. We left Christchurch at 6:30am as we had a long day of travelling making our way over the Lewis Pass to Punakaiki and our first night stop over at Hokitika on the West Coast.
Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, between Westport and Greymouth. The community lies on the edge of the Paparoa National Park.
The Pancake Rocks are a very popular tourist goal at Dolomite Point south of the main village. The Pancake Rocks are a heavily eroded limestone area where the sea bursts through several vertical blowholes during high tides. Together with the 'pancake'-layering of the limestone (created by immense pressure on alternating hard and soft layers of marine creatures and plant sediments), these form the main attraction of the area.
The Pancake Rocks are presently explorable by a number of walkways winding through the rock formations, parts of these wheelchair-accessible and others carved into stairways up and down the rock faces.

These Kittiwakes were nesting under the bridges over the Tyne at Newcastle, and on the ledges by the Hotels in the area too. Lovely to hear and see them....
These critically endangered birds return annually to nest in the old bridge pylons. They are sitting on eggs at the moment
The New Zealand fairy tern, also known as the tara-iti, is a small tern which breeds between Whangarei and Auckland in the North Island of New Zealand. It is considered critically endangered with an estimated 45 individuals and 12 breeding pairs. Wikipedia
A male English Sparrow looks so proud perched on a branch with some nesting material. After taking this picture, I watched him move to the feeder where he dropped the material in an attempt to get some seed. So much for multi- tasking! I don't think his lady was too impressed, as I watched her scold him after dropping the nesting material. lol
