Wow, it's been over a year since I uploaded to flickr! I just graduated at the end of May, and I finally bought the 5D mark ii + 50mm 1.4 lens, and what a dream they both are! I absolutely love the freedom that full frame allows for, and I plan on uploading at least once a week! :)

Tree Swallows at nesting box

Taken at Kanaka Creek Park, Maple Ridge, BC.

 

This is my first photo of this elusive sprite. There were a pair of them busily gathering nesting material (moss). Sorry for the poor quality. I sat and waited by their nest for about an hour yesterday trying to get a clear shot, but as you can see, clear shots had become quite a thorny issue for me.

This bird decided to make a nest in the saguaro cactus behind our house.

They have laid their eggs - nice to see them around the house.

sandbank no 8 ..........

occasionally turtles crawl accross and break eggs..sorta payback for birds eating haching turtles i guess.

Partner, if you could check out the front view and answer a few questions for me, I would really appreciate it. :)

Adult Lineated Barbet is a large barbet with heavy brown streaking on the head and most of its underparts, but largely green on its back, wings and tail. Bright yellow facial skin and pinkish-yellow bill are distinctive features. Sexes similar. Common resident originating from escapes. Like most barbets, excavates holes in trees for nesting. Taken at Pasir Panjang Hort Park.

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.

The doors are built for the nesting boxes.

 

Next up, painting the whole thing.

Ellerslie International Flower Show, Christchurch March 8, 2013 NZ.

 

The 2013 show – running from 6-10 March at Christchurch’s North Hagley Park – has attracted high-quality, world-class gardens from a selection of top international exhibitors along with New Zealand’s best gardeners and designers.

 

The best of British – top garden designer Andrew Fisher-Tomlin and multi award-winning young British brothers Tom and Paul Harfleet – will be exhibiting. Fisher-Tomlin is also Convenor of Judges.

 

The expanded fashion and food elements are also bound to be a hit and mean Ellerslie International Flower Show has something to tempt people of all ages with varying interests.

 

Ellerslie International Flower Show Exhibition Manager Kate Hillier says the line-up of exhibits is impressive.

 

“Ellerslie has built a reputation as New Zealand’s annual flower show and just like the famous Chelsea Flower Show in London forecasts the latest garden design trends and plant fashions. Visitors to Ellerslie get the first chance to see the hottest new plants, colours and looks by the country’s leading landscape architects and garden designers.”

 

A highlight of the show will be New Zealand’s legendary Weta Workshop featuring their fantasy sculptures in one of the key garden exhibits.

 

The sculptures will feature in former All Black Andy Ellis and landscape architect Danny Kamo’s exhibition garden – a re-enactment of their successful entry at the 2012 Singapore Garden Festival which won Gold in a field of 15 of the world’s top garden designers. After Singapore the garden was adapted to provide a stunning native bush setting for Johnny Fraser-Allen’s ‘The Gloaming’ exhibition, curated and presented by Weta Workshop’s Sir Richard Taylor and Tania Rodger in Wellington late last year.

 

The amazing feature garden exhibit will not be judged, it is there to entertain and delight and an opportunity for Christchurch to have Weta Workshop right here in the Garden City.

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.

An east-facing face that becomes shaded by early afternoon, though the bee remains active here until early evening.

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.

The nest boxes sit empty waiting for Hens.

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!

This Starling is nesting in the same place as last year.

Makauwahi Cave Reserve, Kauai Island

The female of the two oystercatchers nesting on the roof of the Royal Golf Hotel. Oystercatchers usually nest on the ground but this resourceful pair have used a flat roof at the hotel for the last 4 years. This has the advantage of making the nest safe from ground living predators but it is still at risk from all the gulls and crows that live nearby. The nest is made by scraping loose gravel into a volcano shaped mound.

 

There are more photographs of these birds and their family to follow!

 

A note to egg collectors - this was taken on April 13th and the eggs have since hatched, I have waited to post the photograph so as not to put the birds at risk.
