Connie: No Mama Wubba that's no nesting material. That's Kiki's hair
Kiki: Yes that's my hair. Thx sis.
Connie and Kiki: Happy Wubba Wednesday dear flickr peeps!
Created for the PCAGOE April 2008 challenge, this is a set of three polymer clay covered plastic Easter eggs - a chick, which fits inside an owl, which fits inside a penguin. The penguin stands up on its feet; the chick is a shaker with glass beads inside. I usually work with canework, so this is quite a step outside the box for me!
Nesting mother earth for our future friends by shielding against all possible harms with possible measures.
Photographed during a visit to see Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, which is a famous rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. It spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below. The island was originally used by salmon fishermen.
I've finished the presentation I've been working on for the special program at the zoo. It contains shots I've taken at five or six different zoos. When I was preparing the Powerpoint, I needed a shot of an ostrich nesting, but hadn't posted one to my photostream. Here's one, so I can look it up in the future! This one often lays eggs.
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)

As I found a couple of weeks ago, there is a power pylon close to the Calaveras Reservoir that has a big nest at the top. At the time I speculated that it was a Bald Eagle nest (based on comments from locals who said there were nesting Bald Eagles in the area) but I hadn't seen them myself. Well today as I drove home along the Calaveras Road I looked over at the nest only to see a nesting eagle. This is as close a shot as I can get using my 70-300mm lens. The pylon is in a fenced off area (private land belonging to the San Francisco Water Company) so it’s impossible to get closer without trespassing (and doing some serious hillside climbing!).

I typically upload in small sets - don't just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you'll like more.... and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)

this small acre is well cared for by a gnome. This area is home to a growing number of birdhouses up high in the trees and this year the gardener has appeared. This is the latest addition to the birdhouse woods aka Walnut Grove. They are nesting leather faces. For birds like doves and robins to nest.
The main attraction of the day - the Painted stork (Best viewed large
Nesting quite close to the walkway mentioned in the previous image they were the most photographed ones. With a bright orange face and beak, partially black wings and a tinge of pink on their feathers, they are nice to look at.
Having already found their mates, and the nesting season about to begin, they are collecting twigs from a tree (near a watch tower) to make their nests. At the time I took the picture, there was quite a lot of activity

"19/52 Birds" - I've been spending this week of my vacation time at my daughter's helping her adjust to her new little one. She is doing great and so is the baby. I didn't know if I'd get a bird picture but here it is, this little one was trying to build a nest in a little birdhouse she has hanging in the garden but everytime I'd catch it trying to stuff the grass into the hole, it would fly off and sit here watching me..

An osprey (Pandion haliaetus) nests on top of a parking lot light at the Crystal River Mall. We saw twigs and other plant matter at the base of the lamp, and guano covered the hood of an unfortunate vehicle parked beside the lamp.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, ospreys nest from December in the south part of the state to February in the north part of the state. We're in north-central Florida, so the timing here seems just right.
Utility poles (especially those near the water) are common osprey nesting sites, and nests are commonly reused for many years. This bird has staked its claim just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Ospreys feed on fish, which has earned them the name "fish hawks."
Ospreys are not as large as bald eagles (which also breed in this area), but they enjoy a five- to six-foot wingspan.

After going through the gardens on the west side of the Governor's Palace in Colonial Williamsburg and crossing to the west side of the canal (a comparatively long, narrow pond -- see map) in late April, I came upon this goose nesting on the edge of the pond. In my first shot, the goose was more relaxed, with it's neck in front of the body; this is the third shot, with her attention rather fully on my -- but not excited enough to get off the nest. A 105mm lens on a full-frame camera doesn't provide a lot of telephoto reach, so I cropped about a third of the image away.
nesting along the breakwater at Provincetown harbor. These birds have been known to swallow small stones to help them dive deeper when fishing.

This turtle emerged from the sea during the night and she was nesting as the sun was rising... By the time she finished it was day!

These guys have obviously decided that the tail fin hinge of a decommissioned Merpati CASA CN-235, is the perfect place for a nest. I guess it's not gong anywhere soon...
Work for upcoming show at: www.aokayofficial.com/ in April!
I can take commissions for custom nesting dolls :)
