This was a grab shot through my patio windows ... This Goldfinch had gathered some of my cats fur (Miss Ellie) for nesting material ... I wonder whether this bird knew it was from a cat otherwise she may have spat it out!
The installations at the Renwick these days inspire all kinds of interactivity. :-) WONDERful. #RenwickGallery

On a walk bout at Barr Lake where they have several nesting box's and I wasn't sure if a bird was in this one so I zoomed in - nope nothing but leaven.
Cookie is our first female rabbit and as such we've never experience nesting before. We did notice quite a bit of fur in her hutch last week but it wasn't until this weekend that we saw her collecting grass from the garden.
Poor Dylan (who no longer has the baby making facilities) just watched from a distance as Cookie went back and forth to her hutch. Occasionally he'd jump in too to have a look, but a few growls from Cookie soon put him in his place.
Of course, now we're all wondering if the operation was actually a success...
Well partner, you said that you would like some storage, so I was thinking about making you a nesting bowl or two. I haven't made that pattern before, so I made the 4 inch version to try it out. I would be making yours in your color picks and in a larger size, so no worries if this one isn't to your taste. It will probably become my thread catcher unless you really love it.
A couple of questions for you: Do you like the scrappy patchwork look, or would you prefer some mini blocks for the decorative panel on yours? Would you prefer a solid or maybe a linen for the main fabric, or would you like something like the black crosshatch I used here? Would you like me to add a handle or two? And most importantly, what sizes would be most useful for you?
If you really dislike it, or would prefer I make you something else, please say so. You won't hurt my feelings. I want to make something you will enjoy and actually use. :)
Photographed during a visit to see Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, which is a famous rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. It spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below. The island was originally used by salmon fishermen.

There were a few chicks when I visited Penguin Beach but they were all in the nesting holes. Hurrah for zoom!

Every time I go out for a drive and take the camera I always hope to get at least one image that I'm happy with. So yesterday I was driving around looking for anything of interest and I noticed about maybe 500 metres from me on private property was a tree with what I thought was an osprey at first at the top of it. Once I got the camera and long lens out I could see it was a whistling kite. I took a heap of shots fully focusing on the top left bird but a tree to my right kept blowing across the lens, I moved the car a bit and found I could get some better shots. Once I got home and downloading and went through them all I noticed that on a couple of the last shots I took there was a second bird, then I noticed it was a nesting pair. Shocked that I had only been concentrating on the one bird and missed the whole picture. Anyway I now know where they are and where to look in the future. don't think I will get much closer though. The first time I've seen a nesting pair.
I came across this beautiful swan on the banks of the River Ayr and I was pleased to be "way" above her - wouldn't want to be too close during this period of motherly love!!
52 in 2015 Challenge #49 A Bird ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
I added this photo a couple of days ago and after some negative comments that made me feel bad i decided to remove it, after explaining that i hadnt climb the tree or frighten the bird as i can see her and the nest clearly from my upstairs windows. Though i appreciate and understand there are people that would disturb the nest and scare away the birds, i have if anything kept an eye out for her. She has nested right near a pavement and can be seen clearly from the street, after many sleepness night chasing away neighbourhood cats , many a times climbing to the nest, the babies have now hatched, i will continue to look out for her and not made to feel bad, hence why im putting the photo back up.
This old windmill made a great nesting place for a bird of prey. Although there was no visible wildlife while photographing the Carrizo Plain area near dusk.
Nesting swallows on the old workshop. Luckily the fan is not in action. The swallows collected the clay for the nest from a dish I put out each spring. In dry seasons it can be difficult for the swallows to build the nest. Photo Kevin Keatley. Camera Nikon D800, Lens 70-200@175mm, F9, 1/250 sec., ISO 320. Camera and flash on manual.
Wandering around Black River Marsh yesterday morning, my peace and quiet was disturbed by some non-stop honking. I discovered the source-a nesting pair of Canada geese who were strongly objecting to another pair attempting to invade their turf. Perhaps the newcomers had not seen the nesters hidden in the tall marsh grass. Conflict resolution was accomplished and all became peaceful once more. Sigh!
Birds nesting on a remote rock. This was the first time I used my newls aquired 2x converter. It did a pretty neat job in combination with the 70-200.
Some extra gifts for you Partner, two sizes nesting bowls made of some crazy/funny snowman fabric. I hope you like them, because it’s about time to wrap up the gifts and ship them.
If you don’t like them, that’s OK because I would not have a problem to keep them!
We found a female nesting near the Demonstration Garden at Boyce Thompson Arboretum near Superior, Ariz.
I think it might be either a broad-tailed or an Anna's; anyone know for sure?
The Charadrius vociferus, also known as "Killdeer" is nesting within the grass. She never got up when I crawled up toward her, but kept a watchful eye. A bit late for nesting, but better late than never!

A special "Thank You" to a Flickr friend Matt for putting us on this nest. When we arrived one of them was sitting and sitting and sitting. Fun but pretty much the same pose time and time again. I played with shutter speeds etc. RA got bored so headed down the lake a couple hundred yards and found some Mallards and Geese. I hung around waiting for something to happen. 30 minutes or so I couldnt see RA so headed her direction to make sure all was well. I got about 50 yards from her and the ducks and geese all took off raising cane. I looked up and sure enough a Bald Eagle was coming down the lake. The other Loon was well out on the lake and he started sounding off as the eagle came. The eagle took a dip at the loon but poof and it was under water. Then the bird at the nest started sounding off. I was 150 yards or so from where I could see the nest. Tripod over the shoulder and running as fast as I could go back to where I could see fearing that the eagle was in the nest eating the eggs. Yes they do that. I got there fairly quickly for an old guy. The loon was off the nest but the eagle wasnt. Of course I started shooting fast. The nest bird had come about a third closer. As I was shooting I realized RA was shooting a bit more down the lake. Ah Ha the other loon was coming. I shot a few more and (get ready for this) I pulled my 7D off the lens and put RA's camera on and lowered the pod so she could see. She shot a bunch in just a couple minutes.
The two loons traded jobs and a fresh belly went on the eggs and the sitter went fishing. Great Fun we had.
Thanks Again Matt

Tree bumble bees have taken over the nest above this one so I gently opened the lid to check on our blue tits - how lovely is this? I hope the bees leave her alone ....
Time has passed by and nobody claimed as his/hers this model that I believe to be of mine... so, also because I've been requested, I decided to publish the CP.... I'm not sure it is correctly drawn so please... just give it a check... improvements are welcome. This model is licensed under CC and I don't mind if you make money folding and selling it (good for you! It is perfect for birth party.... Christenings, pregnacy party if anybody does etc etc....)
BUT PLEASE if you ever use it in pubblic just do not forget the attribution and if you ever make a variation of it, publish it under the same CC or you'll have seven years of bad luck :-))))
