A wet day in Saddleworth, so perfect to sit in the car and get a few photos of the nesting blue tits in a drystone wall.
Some extra gifts for you Partner, two sizes nesting bowls made of some crazy/funny snowman fabric. I hope you like them, because it’s about time to wrap up the gifts and ship them. If you don’t like them, that’s OK because I would not have a problem to keep them!
My primary colors nesting bowls is a work in progress. The blue 402 is part of Horizon Blue, while the yellow 401 is an antique store purchase a long time ago.
I'm looking for a red 403, which is taking a while now.....and to find one that is in excellent condition as these ones is making my search even more difficult, yikes!
Piping plover sitting on the nest. Usually nests of piping plovers are protected by the net but that year on West Meadow Beach they decided to keep them without any protection. So one day I met this plover sitting without movement just in a little sandhole among the stones. At first I thought that it was just resting but then it made high pitch sound and moved few steps aside. I retracted and i noticed that the plvoer quickly returmed to exactly the same spot. Several minutes later another plover appeared and took a spot of its partner. So then I knew that they were nesting. It was amazing how well camouflaged their nest was and how difficult was to see any egg. Unfortuantley removing protection neet was not good for the plovers that year. My friends told me that some nests got plundered by crows and some chicks got eaten by predators soon after hatching. Fortunately environmental officials drawed the right conclusions and in the following years protecting nets returned to West Meadow beach
I discovered this hummingbird nest during a morning walk along a side trail of the American River parkway. At first I just noticed this Anna's hummingbird flying about, but not leaving the particular area that I happened to be standing. This perked my curiosity and after a pretending that I had left, and looking back, I spotted the nest when it returned to it.
I was hoping to follow its progress with additional pictures, but after returning a few days later, the nest was empty and parts of it had fallen. Most likely it fell victim to another bird that raided the nest for its eggs.
This ground dove (Columbina talpacoti) took up residence in my cherry tree (acerola) about a week ago. Best of luck to her chicks.
Because Sycamore has been empty for so long, birds have been finding places to nest in the fabric of the building. Now we are starting to rebuild the front panels of the cottage and replace some of the timbers, but we are working around this Mom and Dad Blue Tit and leaving their entrance open. They got quite used to Scott yesterday and were popping in and out around him. I added a note to show you their home.

I would include this cutie in my current list of things I'm grateful for, but I put her in last year.
I am still grateful for her though. (If I wasn't, would I have wrapped this nest around her this morning??)
Also, I haven't been feeling well today.
It started yesterday, but yesterday was it's own version of hell.
I spent about 9 hours working on my midterm for history.
Needless to say, I did NOT want to spend any more time typing or doing anything on the computer yesterday when it was finished!
In fact, I'm supposed to be working on my weekly essay for the same class right now, but can't bear to focus on it too much. I'm struggling with the caring thing right now. =0)
For 30 Days of Gratitude
I am grateful for feeling comfortable.
Seriously, my pillow is the best pillow in the world, and, ever since Jake acquired this memory foam mattress topper, my bed has never been harder to get out of in the morning!
So, Ms. Brat, I don't blame you for snuggling down into the warmth of the blankets and not moving for hours on end.
This unconventional but highly creative and opportunistic nesting site was chosen by a pair of pigeons. They had built their nest in the men's urinal in the Frenchmen Valley Campground in Grasslands National Park. Their nest wasn't successful. They had abandoned it prior to my discovery as the eggs were stone cold. This photograph was taken on the same day that the wildfire burned through the park.
I found their nest very endearing. We had seen them hanging about the bathroom a week or so prior to the discovery.

One from Swansea Vale Ponds the other day. I was stood watching this swan pulling out and pecking at the reeds investigating them in prep for building a nest
Grey heron (अंजन, नरी, सैन) / Ardea cinerea is a charismatic, predatory wader of heron family normally seen along with other herons & egrets on the edge of water bodies. They have aptly been able to live in cities where habitats and nesting space are available. They can be seen all around London close to water bodies and if you have fish in your garden this is the largest bird you will see there.
Grey heron (अंजन, नरी, सैन) / Ardea cinerea is ashy-grey above with white crown and neck, greyish wite below. It has long slender S-shaped neck, narrow head, and stout, pointed, dagger bill. The long black occipital crest, elongated black-streaked white plumes on the breast, and a conspicuous black-dotted line down the middle of the foreneck, are additional point of identity. The female is similar, but her crest and pectoral plumes are less developed. (src: Coomon Birds of India, Salin Ali & Laeeq Futehally)
Three polyhedrons nesting with each other. The outside frame is a rhombic triacontahedron. A maple cube is next with a tetrahedron at the center. This geometric trophy sits on a rhombic shaped pedestal. (dscn7527c)

I made the biggest one
These Kittiwakes were nesting under the bridges over the Tyne at Newcastle, and on the ledges by the Hotels in the area too. Lovely to hear and see them....

A nesting Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta) seen on Sekania beach, Zakynthos in June 2011. Photo was taken on long exposure to avoid disturbing the turtle with flash.

This American Robin (or "Rouge Gorge" in French) has a nest in the tree on our front lawn.
A couple of weeks ago, I was doing Spring inspection of our lawn and noticed a tiny light blue Robin's egg on the ground so I think it was a fatality of this nest.
Yesterday, I was sitting outside with my camera waiting for birds to come to the tree and suddenly 3 Grackles showed up. The Grackles made a lot of loud noise and were trying to get at this nest in the tree. The pair of nesting Robins rallied and chased away the Grackles successfully.
Today I went looking for the nest, spotted it, and managed to get this shot of one of the adult pair incubating the remaining eggs.
This nest is not very far from the Starling nest in the eaves of my neighbour's house. The Starlings sometime visit this tree, but I've noticed that the Starlings always seem to be chasing away other Starlings who try to get into their own nest.
