This Carolina Chickadee is one of several birds in my yard, including doves and gold finches that were busily collecting nesting materials and building nests.
Taken in Chester County, PA on 4/14/2020, as part of my backyard COVID-19 'Stay-at-Home' series.

Sparrows built a nest on a night sensor lamp hanging near a condo balcony. At least the chicks will be warm at night every time the light turns on.
Can you spot them? I sat in the canoe and watched, as I have annually for several years now, as they went about their business, each alternately sitting on the nest while the other went fishing nearby. Ultimately accepting, their initial response to my intrusion is to dive bomb the canoe, flashing ghost-like underwater in an attempt to intimidate. Fun.
In any event, I have yet to see any young produced over in the 11 years I've been here. There are numerous reasons why that might be...from black fly outbreaks to eagle predation. Regardless, seeing a little one riding the back of its parent is on my bucket list and I wish them well this time.
Probably the same Whitethroat has returned to the same spot 2 years in a row by the Marsh Hide, Baron's Haugh NR...shot from last year

This female Red-winged Blackbird knows exactly what supplies are needed for a comfortable nest. Mother Nature is so beautiful in the springtime.

Nesting Time -- coming and going -- and the babies are really making a racket. A really pleasant and peaceful morning shoot.
This male house sparrow was gathering twigs and fluff by the Willamette River. Never saw his landing place, though - kept the nest well hidden!

It may look like this Killdeer is nesting on a beach somewhere, but you might be surprised that she decided to lay her eggs in the middle of a church parking lot!! In an effort to protect her from the inevitable crush of traffic come Sunday, a chair with a sign on it was placed over her nesting site. She doesn't seem to mind the roof over her head, but it made it a bit challenging to shoot! (Saanichton, BC).

Image taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire. At the time this image was taken the female Great Crested Grebe was sitting on 5 eggs, just after this two little Humbugs were hatched there is a beautiful image of them altogether to be found on David Smith's Flickr Photostream. I visited yesterday and didn't see the chicks or remaining eggs the parents were both off the nest diving for food, I hope that everything's ok with this family and the chick's and eggs were just in the bottom of the nest will be going back today to check. Update Wed 3rd June 2020 the nest is definitely abandoned when I arrived a Crow was standing on top of the nest so it's empty, only one adult Grebe present looked all round the area no sign of the other one.
Sandhill cranes raise one brood per year. In migratory populations, egg-laying usually begins between early April and late May.
Both members of a breeding pair build the nest using plant material from the surrounding areas.
Nest sites are usually in marshes, bogs, or swales, though cranes will occasionally nest on dry land.
