A pair of great blue herons, one stay-at-home caring the child and the other returning from a fishing trip, kiss each other while their child looked on.

occasionally turtles crawl accross and break eggs..sorta payback for birds eating haching turtles i guess.
i found this swan nesting the other day and its partner is with it as well I'm going to keep a eye on them and hopefully they will give me some cracking photos.
This was on Cunningham Island in the middle of the lake at Land Between the Lakes, KY. I took this handheld from a kayak. There were 50-75 nesting birds on the island along with several Black Crowned Night Herons, hundreds of Cormorants, and a few other assorted waterfoul.
One of several nesting pairs that inhabit live oak trees in an urban yard in Houston, Texas. Last year, there were seven or eight pairs in two adjacent trees. This is the second pair to show up this year.
From the residua left on the ground under the nests, it appears these birds enjoy a diet that includes frogs, toads, and crayfish.

From a distance the cliffs of Boreray can look snow-capped but its actually just guano from the thousands of nesting birds.
This species of bee-eater is a summer migrant to Zambia, arriving in late August and early September where they gather in their hundreds and select a breeding site on the steep sandy banks of the Luangwa River.
They actively dig individual tunnels in the bank, which are up to two metres deep, where they will lay their eggs and nourish their young in late November and early December. The best time to observe these birds is right now – in September/ october – when both males and females are actively digging and feeding. Depending on their location, they make for a wonderful sighting either as the sun rises or sets, when the sun’s rays magnify the bright pinkish-red and blue colours of their feathers.
The interior is a home dec weight fabric with fusible medium weight interfacing applied. I used size 10 cotton thread for the handstitching. The home dec inside material has been in my stash forever.

This was at the Salton Sea, CA.
These are REAL birds on REAL nests. They flew away after I took a couple photos but I swear they were really there!
They're back again this year, nesting on a much smaller island. It's illegal to interfere with a swan's nest.
Working away so much these days, it sometimes means having to plan ahead, which for someone as scatterbrained as me, is a challenge. So, with the prospect of the next four weeks away, I have to ensure I have enough drugs, allergy stuff mainly, to last until I am likely to have some time at home again.
And so that is why at half two on a grey Monday afternoon I was pulling my boots on for a stomp across the fields to the middle of the village, to the surgery to pick up my prescription.
I was not prepared for the volume of mud I found, I mean you expect rain at this time of year, but this was as bad as I have seen it. I struggled along to the pig's copse, there was no sign of any pigs, my guess is that the piglets are sausages now.
Even at the top of the dip, the mud was ankle deep, but I had little choice but to press on, so I slithered down the slope, finding mud several inches deep at the bottom. There is a small path to one side, but the water had even overflowed into that, so that was muddy as well.
At the top of the slope the other side, I thought if I should just scrap the walk and head back into the village and back along the lanes past the pond. Or carry on over the fields.
I walked along to where the cycle path heads down and the footpath heads over the fields, and I see that the mud is bad on the bottom part of the path. I decide, as it was getting dark that I should just take the easy route and walk into the village, past the pond, the school to the surgery.
Which is what I did, and as I reached the village, what light there was faded and dusk began to fail.
Even though it is deep mid-winter, spring is on its way. There is new growth in the hedgerows, birds are looking at nesting sites, in woodlands, orchid rosettes can be found. I have subdued the colours in this series, as the day's light was fading, so it seemed right, but the days are getting longer, bit by bit.

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 dedicate this image to my Flickr friend, Kim. She inspired me to go to the 9th Street Rookery in Santa Rosa to see the nesting birds there. I only wish that I had a better lens to get a tighter shot. . I will put that on my wish list!
set of 3 nesting fabric gift boxes in a lovely floral print with a striped inner box. boxes are 3", 2" and 1.2" cubes.
Hard to get a clear shot with all the trees - but this Anhinga was nesting amongst the egrets and herons. I didn't realize they had such beautiful eyes.
In order to assist with the successful nesting of Osprey, platforms have been built on top of utility poles complete with wire screening to help keep the nest secure. This pair have rebuilt on this same pole now for the past three years. The photo below shows the female in the nest. Note she has added a bit of teasel to the interior to help spruce things up a bit!
Another shot from Bornholm, I'm not really sure what is going on here. On the face of it, its rather lovely to see so many nest boxes in a tree...but what is that rope for?
