Spent an hour or so with mak3154 photographing the Oxford Island house martins gathering mud and nesting materials.
A handful of many nesting Cliff Swallows, underneath the entrance roof of the Chula Vista Nature Center.
I attended some Flyway Week activities today, which also happened to be International Migratory Bird Day, at the Tijuana Estuary Visitor Center and The Chula Vista Nature Center. There were some great presentations, nice interaction and lots of birds.

Whale watching trip to Witless Bay Ecological Reserve off the eastern coast of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula.
A nesting pair of Red Rumped Parrots. Male top left, female in the hollow. This dead tree was full of hollows and every one seemed to be occupied by pairs of various species. There is probably a shortage of suitable nest sites. Cobbler Creek Reserve, South Australia.
The new hide at Rutland Water presented some great views of the male Osprey fishing and also these nesting Great Crested Grebes close to the hide, evening light wasn't bad either.

The Bolsa Chica Reserve has five or six nesting pairs of Great Blue Herons right now. This nest looks pretty substantial, but the one in this spot last year, looked as if it wouldn't hold the mother, let alone the mother and two fledglings.
My finish for this week - a present for a friend with a black cat!
I used the nesting bowls tutorial from acuppaandacatchup.com/

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)
Found her nesting in the rocks at Lake Monroe in Monroe County In. She let us get really close, but she didn't budge from her eggs. There will be the pitter patter of little fuzzy geese soon.
The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape (also Lednice-Valtice Area or Lednice-Valtice Complex, Czech: Lednicko-valtický areál) is a cultural-natural complex of 283,09 km² in the Czech Republic, South Moravian Region, close to Břeclav and Mikulov.
The Lednice-Valtice Area is registered in the list of monuments protected as World Heritage by UNESCO next to another site – Pálava Landscape Protected Area, registered by UNESCO only a few years prior to the nearby Pálava Biosphere Reserve. Such close proximity of two landscape systems protected by UNESCO is world-unique.
At the end of the 18th century, the local manor lordship – the House of Liechtenstein – began to create a unique manmade landscape complex: The Lednice – Valtice Area. During the 19th century, the Liechtenstein family continued transforming the area, which has since been called the "Garden of Europe", into a large landscape park with two centres: Valtice Castle (and contiguous town) and Lednice Castle (and contiguous village).
Lednice is the best-known tourist destination in south Moravia. All roads in the Chateau park lead to the Minaret. The gallery, 60 metres high, provides a view of the entire Garden of Europe. It is easy to see from this point the magnificent Pálava Hills and Malé Karpaty Mountains, when weather allows. The whole Lednice-Valtice Area shows many other sightseeings as middle-age castle imitations like Janohrad, the empire temple Apollónův chrám, the classic salet Tři Grácie, and the classic castle Rybniční zámeček. All of these sightseeings are connected by a network of bike roads located in wooded area.

Did spend a nice summer weekend in the south Moravia, once more enjoying Pálava region and the area around Lednice - it is truly one of the most beautiful parts of the Czech republic.

Sorry if I'm boring everyone with all the wren pics - but while they're so close I'm making the most of the opportunity!
A mother swan has built her nest on top of a muskrat den; we were told she’s been nesting in this spot about 4 weeks.

We were very fortunate to have been invited by the RSPB Glaslyn Osprey Project to view the Osprey nest from the nearest hide in the protection zone itself ... photos a bit blurry, about 300 metres away ... but fantastic to see this pair returning for the ninth year ... two eggs are now thought to be in the nest (second one not yet confirmed this morning). A white sky and a grey day today, not like yesterday's sunshine and blue! You can see the cameras that relay the nesting images to the main centre about a mile away to be viewed on large video monitor screens.
