Found a couple of Starlings busy working on their nest in this Sycamore tree over looking the Ohio River in Marietta, Ohio.
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.
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)
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.
In one of the bird rooms at Disney's Animal Kingdom, there are dozens of these golden beauties weaving tons of nests. Somebirdie in this room bombed me-- you can see some of the suspects over on the blog.
the nesting site was selected after serious consideration... squirrels here mate and reproduce almost all year round except December and January...
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!!
Someone thoughtfully placed a ring of rocks around this nest to protect her and her eggs from foot traffic in the busy area.

High up in a tree, a squirrel is gathering nesting material to prepare its home for the winter. The camera's eye-tracking focus is impressive, finding its way through all the branches between me and the squirrel. An amazing invention that I don't understand how it works but appreciate very much. Shot at the Woodland Cemetery in southern Stockholm, Sweden. Early December 2025.
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 beautiful Mourning Dove built her nest in a hanging pot on our deck and it was such a joy to watch her babies develop, mature and fly away.
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.
I found the dry lavandula
I felt the sensation of nesting
I picked up the leaves and the hedera
I reaped the rose fruit
I made the liquidambar leaves branch
I composed the nest
I photographed
And in the end it flew away...
Our mornings are filled with trips to the chicken coop to gather eggs from our lovely hens. It is not unusual to find one of each breed in the homemade nesting boxes.

Hummingbird on nest, near Tucson, AZ at a B&B where we were staying. This image has been chosen by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to be included in a series of webinars being developed to help educators meet national science standards through birds.
I can't wait till the eggs hatch and I can photograph the cygnets. I hope they ride on their parents' backs.
The Chickadees have won the new nesting box over the Bluebirds. The male and the female were both busy gathering their nest material yesterday. It was gray and cold yesterday--hoping for better sunshine shots today.
Fishing largemouth bass nests is a popular technique anglers use to catch the popular sport fish. Male bass instinctively defend their nests, giving anglers a higher rate of fishing success. However, while the adults are away nest predators such as bluegill and other panfish eat the eggs and bass hatchlings. With future largemouth bass generations at stake, researchers set out to study how largemouth nest fishing in Florida will impact the survival of future generations of largemouth bass.
First, each fish receives a tag and a fin clipping in order to identify individuals and track the success of their nesting behavior and parental contribution using genetic analysis.
