Great Egret brings in a twig for a nest. That's his mate low in the tree waiting for the egret to land, turn and pass the twig.
I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 6 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of the photos from that group. Many of these re-visit an already posted subject. I've finished folder 15 and am now on 16 - that has 5 subfolders!!!
I just really liked this neat and comfortable looking nest. I was later surprised to find she was brooding nine chicks at the time.

Before I get back to my shots taken last week at the Wetlands, here is something from home. When I bath and brush Harry lately I've been getting a whole other dog worth of hair and so I've pegged it to the clothesline hoping the birds would use it for nesting. So look who is nesting again!
At least two each of Roseate Spoonbills, Great Egrets and Cattle Egrets nesting in the island rookery of the Delores Fenwick Nature Center in Pearland, Texas. I count ten nests in this photo.
This is a nesting box right by our patio and I must have missed the laying of the eggs. I have watched the male and female flying in and out with worms so assume the eggs have hatched. I have not heard any peeps yet, but will keep you posted:) The brown thrashers have young ones peeping in a bush down a bit and the mockingbirds too. I love watching the birds this time of year.
UK'S smallest bird was so lucky having a drink looked up and there he was busy working.Goldcrests are relatively common in Scotland with something like 750,000 individuals nesting here, and up to three million covering the country as far north as Shetland in winter. They’re hyperactive little birds that always seem to be on the move, flitting through woodland, feeding on small insects and seeds. You may have even seen them in your garden or local park.Goldcrests are tiny. They are England’s smallest bird, and are regarded as the smallest in the whole of Europe too. They only weigh, at most, about 6.5g which is the equivalent of holding a single 10 pence piece in your palm! But for such a minute species, goldcrests can be remarkably resilient and are one of the lightest birds in the world to migrate across the sea – moving from northern Europe to the UK in winter

The common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is native to southeast North America. This reptile belongs to an ancient family (Chelydridae) that evolved in North America around 90 million years ago and has remained little changed since that time. Snapping turtles are omnivores and eat a wide variety of food sources including animals such as birds, frogs, snakes, fish and invertebrates as well as plants. During winter, they hibernate underwater in lakes and ponds buried in sediment in locations that do not freeze.
Contrary to popular belief, snapping turtles are not aggressive and much prefer to avoid confrontation. However, unlike most turtle species, snappers are unable to withdraw their heads fully into their shells for protection and have no choice but to defend themselves from predators and needless provocation by humans.
The photo shows a female snapping turtle searching for a suitable sandy nesting site where she can lay her eggs.
Unfortunately choice sites are often sandy areas by the side of roads or as in the photo on a gravel road in a wilderness area.

I know, another dandelion seedhead :) But I can't stop photographing them, and thought I'd try this one in black and white, something I rarely do.
Best viewed large!

'twas great fun watching a pair shore up their nest in anticipation of little ones this morning.

Mom is so proud of her nesting family as they grow more and more each day. This one young chick is trying hard to find room enough to stretch his or her wings in such a confined nest.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul....Darrell.
Have a safe and sweet day dear flickr friends.
Thank you to everyone for your visits to my photo-stream....very much appreciated !
Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
Nesting on the Vic Uni Pond. Not so easy to see the nest this year.
We are having major internet problems, I don't even know if these images will upload. It will take me some time to catch up with your images. That will be after our ISP fixes the problem, it has been four hours thus far.
