Calls for residencies will open soon.
This is the mallard that is nesting under a nandina bush next to my daughter's pool. She is sitting on 13 eggs and I don't think she is through. Odd place for a duck to pick.
I played with my scraps and received two scrappy panels. I turned them into a nesting bowl. I loved playing with my scraps and used some precious fabric for the inside. Outside essex yarn dyed linen.
These Carlyle style nesting tables, were custom made to coordinate with another table in the next picture.
The large table measures 18"W x 26"D x 25"H and the small table measures 12"W x 20"D x 20"H.
All two toned in Elm/Asbury for the tops, and Brown Maple/Black for the rest.
Loved getting to see Hummingbirds nesting. As I'm learning DSLR photography, the thing I keep discovering most often is how much more I need to learn & understand. At least I had a few pics that were worth sharing.

Family of robin's built a condo and are currently taking turns watching over their eggs in the camilla near the front porch.
the nesting site was selected after serious consideration... squirrels here mate and reproduce almost all year round except December and January...
Russian Nesting Dolls.
ODC Group 1: 12/14/2011: Hollow.
I have always loved nesting dolls.
Some background on nesting dolls from Wikapedia:
A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. The number of nested figures is traditionally at least five, but can be much more, up to several dozen with sufficiently fine craftsmanship. The form is approximately cylindrical and hollow, with a rounded top for the head, tapering toward the bottom, with little or no protruding features; the dolls have no hands (except those that are painted). The artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be extremely elaborate.
The first Russian nested doll set was carved in 1890 by Vasily Zvyozdochkin from a design by Sergey Malyutin, who was a folk crafts painter in the Abramtsevo estate of the Russian industrialist and patron of arts Savva Mamontov.[2][3] The doll set was painted by Malyutin and consisted of eight dolls—the outermost was a girl holding a rooster wearing a traditional dress. The inner dolls were girls and a boy, and the innermost a baby.[2]
Matryoshka dolls are often designed to follow a particular theme, for instance peasant girls in traditional dress, but the theme can be anything, from fairy tale characters to Soviet leaders.
This was taken earlier in the spring at the "savage lands" at one point we counted 32 Great Blue Heron sitting and nesting in the tree tops!!
The old nesting boxes had a lid that opened up from the top, so if there were chickens in there (and there were frequently more than one in a box at a time, it was hard to get the eggs out.
Feeding young takes consistent hunting for nutritious food by the male and female Baltimore oriole. Both visit the sock-like nest regularly, dropping in food.
In the first few seconds the female comes to the nest with a beak full of food. She feeds the babies and the male joins her, waiting for his turn to feed the babies. The female eventually gets all the way in the nest, while the male comes back by to check on things before heading out again to search.

A matryoshka doll, a Babushka doll or a Russian nested doll, also called a stacking doll, is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other. "Matryoshka" (Матрёшка) is a derivative of the Russian female first name "Matryona", which was a very popular name among peasants in old Russia. The name "Matryona" in turn is related to the Latin root, "mater" and means Mother. So the name is closely connected with motherhood and in turn the doll has come to symbolize fertility.
A quick photo of a nesting doll that I'm working on. It isn't finished, but thought I'd share anyways. I'm also organizing a nesting doll exchange. More details here.
Rip Rap Islands serve as crucial nesting ground for seabirds near the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel in coastal Virginia. Currently, species that rely on the island include the royal tern, common tern, gull-billed tern, sandwich tern, herring gull, laughing gull, great black-backed gull, black skimmer, and snowy egret.
For decades before the expansion of the HRBT, two artificial islands anchored the underwater tunnels and housed the large colony of seabirds. The construction made these islands unsuitable nesting grounds.
In February 2020, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam tasked the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources with relocating the colony. A quick yet massive renovation of Fort Wool, a Civil War-era military installment built in 1819, transformed Rip Rap Islands into a landscape for the seabird colony similar to the barrier islands. Along with Fort Wool, DWR leased three flat-top barges to create additional habitat next to Rip Rap Islands for the birds to nest. July 15, 2021 (Photo by Aileen Devlin | Virginia Sea Grant)
