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.
Found below a horizontal beam near my house car park. Had to get very close for this shot .. and had to do it with very slow moments so as to not alarm it and it closely watched me .. and didn't seem to mind. Tokina 100mm at about 1:1.1 plus Opteka 10x closeup filter

We've lived in Somerset since December 2013 and each spring and summer we've seen Great Crested Grebes nesting and chicks appearing shortly afterwards. Lovely.
Please note, these were shot at long distance and in poor light so are massive crops. That's how it is sometimes when you need to keep a distance from nesting birds.
Please note that this photo was taken in the company of professional researchers. Proper protocol was followed and care was taken not to disturb the turtle as she nested. No lights were used in the making of this photo other than red light used sparingly at appropriate times. Please do not approach nesting turtles without appropriate training and permission. Please avoid using light, especially white lights on beaches during nesting season.

I found this nesting, mother hummingbird under the eaves of a house. They had attached their nest to a screw hook for a hanging flower pot. They are so tiny! This was taken with a 400mm lens (using an extension tube).
In the enlargement you can see feathers lining the nest and poking up by her head and eye. The feathers are often the soft down feathers from other birds. They also use a lot of fluffy "parachute" type seeds to build and line their nest, like this photo (by Peggy Collins) of a hummer gathering cattail or bullrush fluff.

This was the first parent sitting on the nest, when I started to shoot. Eventually it began to point emphatically at the ground in short pecking motions. When I looked up from the camera, parent two was standing nearby, clearly having received the message that it's services were required. Nothing vociferous about this summons.
I kept hearing bird sounds I didn't recognise, I listened for a while & eventually saw a couple of Nuthatches going in & out this hole way up in the tree. I hope the very cold weather of the last few days hasn't affected them because I think they are nesting. I am struggling to get decent in focus shots with my camera at the moment, it has been fixed twice before but seems the old problem is back!

This pattern is really well written--and not to mention totally adorable! These guys are going to be for Serena for her first birthday next week. I think she will love how colorful they are!
We spotted this common nighthawk sitting on its nest at Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge in Minnesota. These ground nesters will incubate two eggs for 16-20 days. After 17-18 additional days, young are ready to venture out!

I captured the house wren nesting this morning. When she went out for a bite to eat I peeked in and saw 4 little white eggs!
