The female great blue heron was impressed by the stick that her partner fetched. It eagerly took the stick from him and worked it to the nest.

The first biosphere reserve in Vietnam
Official name: Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve.
The date approved by UNESCO: January 21, 2000.
Administrative boundary: Can Gio District, Ho Chi Minh city.
Zonation:
- Core zone: 4 721 ha.
- Buffer zone: 37 339 ha.
- Transtion zone: 29 310 ha.
Total: 71 370 ha.
- After totally destroyed during the war, the mangrove is rehabilitated as seen as the most beautiful in the Southeast Asia.
- Mangrove species have a gene pool to adapt the severe condition flooded in tidal water and muddy soils in coastal zones. Other plants can not survival in these conditions.
- The mangrove is ‘a green lung’ for the Ho Chi Minh City, industrial zones and surrounding areas.
- The mangrove is supporting nesting, nursering and feeding areas for juveniles of aquatic organisms and endangered birds and mammals.
- Support the place to educate revolutionary tradition, patriot and nature appreciations, enviromental ethics as a living laboratory for scientific research and initiation of future generations.

Conserving the heritage of mankind for today and tomorrow.
- Global values depend on individual responsibility.
- Cutting tree is a sentence; the loss of forest, loses all.
- Discharge of garbage to pollute the environment and landscape beauty.
- People are ecosystem citizens: getting benefits from the nature and paying conservation for them for further generations

Another photo of the nesting green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) from the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, like I said in my previous photo these turtles eggs are extremely vulnerable to nest predation and poaching and infact this turtles eggs were poached before she had even made it back to the ocean.
EDIT: Turns out this is actually a olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea)! Which is pretty exciting since then this is the first and so far only one of these I have seen. This is a wide ranging species and is found throughout much of the worlds oceans but population levels have dropped from historic levels.
One of the wetlands that I frequent has a nesting pair of Soras. I probably would never have found her without help from one of my friends and contacts Nathan - his website pwtphotography.com/ - thanks Nathan. She was not disturbed as I used a long lens and teleconverter and you will see for yourself in the images that follow. She would get up, have a bite and return to her nest, I stayed a short while even though she didn't seem to notice me, you just never know. Unfortunately the sun was on the wrong side, it was windy so the reed grass in front kept blocking my camera - but how often do you get to see a sora this close going about her business. The grass in front of her will soon be very high - I would love to go back to see her babies, but I think they will be impossible to see by then. They incubate the eggs for 18-20 days.

Only did a few shots of these Catholic Nuns Nesting Dolls, and this one was the best. They are very stately.
Put them on an old wooden sock blocker for knitted socks.
Saw this pair of swans by their nest today but was unable to take a photo at that time. When I returned the female was alone in the nest.
Shot this with the Tokina AT-X 400 f5.6.
We happened across this pair of nesting Killdeer Plovers and their emerging family while exploring one of Victoria's many oceanside parks. If you look closely you will see a new chick in the grass in front of the adults and an egg under the adult in the foreground. These are the characters that fake a broken wing to draw predators away from their nest.

(Slow lens speed and fast birds precluded a sharper picture.)
Update: Inexplicably, almost immediately after their nest was finished, they were gone.
Update 2: Three months later, they returned and raised some little ones.
Speckles, our resident nesting Sandhill Crane, usually is considering some sort of aggressive move when you hear him growling by himself or in unison with Mrs, his mate. On Saturday March 30th, the pair walked very deliberately down our trails ignoring visitors and growling together until they reached a vantage point overlooking their nest island where a pair of geese were trespassing. After low growling of significant volume, they both stopped, looked at one another and flew over to the island to evict the geese. The geese did not leave willingly, and the cranes kept up a ferocious loud growling duet for the next half hour as they thwarted goose attempts to come aboard.
Both species have been battling over this nest site, but both have the dilemna of not wanting necessarily to be on the island all the time until egg incubation is required, but running the risk of losing possession of it if they are not there.

It is such an honor to watch the Great Blue Herons nesting. This great Blue had a particularly busy day going back and forth to it's nest!
I made something and I know it will never sell in my store, nor will I ever use it. Shall I do a little lottery or something? Anyone want to win this www.flickr.com/photos/ingermaaike2/4192887782/
What would you do with it? The one writing the most fun comment will have it :-D
A House Finch nest in a juniper next to our entry door in Norman, OK. Just found it and another today. Nest 1 has two eggs inside. There is some cotton woven in that I recognize as nesting material our neighbor Mitzi placed near her feeders. We would have 20 or so House Finches on the feeders through the winter, but we are now down to two pairs and lucky that both have built nests in our yard. Both are in juniper trees and both in places that I can't get the legs of my ladder level. I have to climb up, extend my arm and shoot downward using my little Nikon Coolpix to shoot blindly until a get a usuable shot of the nest contents. One nest has two eggs and the other is not quite completed and has none.
