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!
Found this exquisite wasp trying to build a nest on my air-conditioner. I had just bought my 50mm lens so I couldn't destroy it before taking a shot. I apologize for having it right at the middle of the frame but it was quite a difficult shot to take leaning off my window.

They're back again this year, nesting on a much smaller island. It's illegal to interfere with a swan's nest.

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!

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.
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.
Can't beat that for a background! The nest must be inside the azalea, as the bird surveyed the area to make sure it was unobserved by predators before popping in with the twig. Note the brood patch on the breast -- I've rarely seen such a marked one.
It says here in the book that the male usually builds the stick nest and that only the female incubates. Tell that to the bird! It must be a female with a brood patch like that, but there it is with a twig.
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!
I tried to get another sharper shot of the mourning dove's eye, but it looks as if it's going to be hit or miss with the auto-focusing. Perhaps another attempt in the morning (when the light is more direct) will give me a clearer, sharper image. (Uncropped.)

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?

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.
Nesting Wooden Boxes are made of pine wood with paint finishes. Inside of boxes are natural.
Wood Boxes are slide lid design. Size of box is 23x15x11.5cm, 20x12x10cm, 17x9x8.5cm respectively. Small box can be stored in bigger one thus will save much storage room.
The bald eagle's natural range covers most of North America, including most of Canada, all of the continental United States, and northern Mexico. It is the only sea eagle endemic to North America.

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.

Also known as Scaevola frutescens and Scaevola sericea.
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.
