I have collected eggs for quite some time. It is a pleasure to share some of the special ones for Easter! Better late than never! I almost missed it! :)
As I was standing looking out the back window into the Garden I saw this Hummingbird keep flying into the pear tree, and not coming back out. So I grabbed my camera and zoomed in on the tree to discover the hummingbird was sitting on a nest .Excellent surprise :0)... I took these pictures from in the house looking out the window so I wouldn't disturb the bird.... Hope you enjoy her as much as I did.
A mating pair of Great Egrets work on building a nest at Gatorland Park in Orlando, Florida. Gatorland is an excellent place to watch and photograph wild nesting birds doing their thing. Time it right and you'll also get to see them raising their young. I was too early in the season on this trip to see that.

Little Birdie is tearing strips of paper and tucking them into her tail for nesting material. Lovebirds are the only parrots who do this.
This little Blue Tit moves so fast - even with a big beak full of nesting material - it was hard to get a good shot! Our neighbour's have a couple of nesting boxes in their garden which have been used successfully by the Tits in previous years. I managed to get this zoom shot before the bird disappeared - as fast as lightning - over the fence.
Cloudy day today with just the occasional 2 seconds of sun every now and again. The forecast for the week ahead for the UK is set fair - even may go from warm to hot and sunny - Yay. Have a good week all xxx
Half the adventure of Papua New Guinea is in getting to places! We traveled by outboard-driven dugout canoe from the informal dock at Pagwi, up the Sepik River to the little village of Kanganaman.

School Field Trip to The Maryland (Baltimore) Zoo.
This was the group of kids I spent the day with. Thank goodness I wasn't alone with them. I had two other parents with me so we were able to contain the madness and keep the craziness to a minimum.
Two ladies my wife knew from teaching ages back passed by with their dogs and (keeping a safe distance) said that this nesting site was not a good one; far too accessible for dogs and foxes.
ODC-Nest or Nesting
Whenever you buy a new home you get a few surprises. I went looking for a birds nest this morning and found this under the little shelter next to our barn/shed in the backyard. The huge carpenter bees were crawling in and out of the holes. The female bees lay their eggs in the holes. This will definitely have to be addressed in the fall.
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)

I spend the day bird watching, and there wasn't much crafting going on ... even these birds weren't doing that much to make a nest.

Note the freshly added mud daubs around the nest entrance.
Cliff swallows build "adobe" enclosures that they glue to the junction of any cliff-like overhang (such the eaves of a roof) and a vertical wall in which they nest. These birds are collecting beaks-ful of mud they consider to be suitable for building/repairing their nests in Yellowstone.
Flocks of cliff swallows cumulatively consume tons of small insects, including pests like mosquitoes.

Osprey
The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) — also called fish eagle, sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk — is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common names suggest, the osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion and family, Pandionidae. Four subspecies are usually recognized, one of which has recently been given full species status (see below). Despite its propensity to nest near water, the osprey is not classed as a sea eagle.
One of a pair of Blue Tits which made use of a nest box in our garden is pictured at the entrance to the nest box.

Our two remaining Eastern bluebirds are very busy making their nest. They are occupying the same box from last year. I guess they like the location!

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 efforts very endearing.

Our second day in Cape Town we visited the southern-most region viewing an old lighthouse and then the penguin colony.
The Chickadee babies have hatched. 6 Weeks after they built their nest they are feeding their babies. In and out all day. Its amazing how this Nesting box attracts the chicakadees. It was only a couple days after I put it out that the Chickadees started cleaning the wood chips out.
