My wife is "nesting". She's got me cleaning up the utility closet. This means vetting materials on top of the hot water heater (shown here) to decide what goes where, what can be thrown out, etc.
Babies give you a whole new perspective on things... even before they make their appearance:)

set of eight (9"w x 4.25"h) mallest bowl measures 3" w, largest is 9" w

Male Bald Eagle at Klamath Falls, OR
Another behavioral marvel which we only witnessed once in the trip. Because their nests are so roomy they need larger twigs to build them. They loosen the base of the twigs with their beaks and then rip them right off with their talons. One might think this is too big, but for a bird that carries deer cubs this is a piece of cake.
This couple is a resident of Klamath Falls and had their nest built three years ago. This was probably just some patch work in order to get ready for the breeding season. 2min to break the branch and 30min to meticulously arrange it in the nest.
Best viewed in large.

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.

I do not normally photograph nesting birds for two reasons.
1.The risk of disturbance and therefore abandonment
2.The risk of disclosure to others.
However, while walking along the River Exe, I came across this Dipper’s nest, in a very public place and spent two fabulous hours watching, from a considerable distance, these birds. The weir was visited by a number of people during which the Dippers did not visit the nest. However, most people only spent a few minutes in the vicinity of the nest and the Dippers resumed feeding as soon as they had gone.
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.

We stayed on a boat with a row of massive brass portholes cut into the side just a foot or two above the water. Outside, a mere coot was sitting her nest on a half sunken skiff, one of those homely dilapitated waterfront scenes that can engage my attention for hours. At all times she was there, sitting her eggs, and we grew this whole mythology about her and her mate, who would periodically turn up, bringing another piece of candywrapper, a bit of styrofoam or, more rarely, an actual twig for her to consider adding to the establishment. Having done what he perceived to be his duty, he would then perch at the bow and preen for awhile, or take a nap, but just as often he would disappear again; we frequently spotted him hanging around a boat across the way from which a friendly woman would toss him crackers. These coots are pretty aggressive little birds, and their distinctive white heads and black bodies lend them a sort of keystone kops air, which is why Jen dubbed them "deputy ducks." Whenever we heard the sharp alert cries of one of them, cries which usually preceed a pugnacious charge at another bird, we'd say to each other, "sounds like somebody's getting deputized."
Our boat being the closest to the pier, with three more tied up outside it, the space here was a popular byway for all the various waterfowl passing through: a circumstance requiring an endless amount of tireless diligence from the coot nesting outside our portholes. We came to regard her mate as something of a slacker considering this, and noticed that while he was happy to take my frosted mini wheats, he never brought one to her. It was also interesting how the mallards and the coots had seemed to settle on agreeable boundaries: for example, the mallards were welcome to pass through this byway so long as they passed through the arch at the top of the propeller opening forward of the rudder on the boat with the blue stripe. Failing to do so was tempting a voracious attack from Mr. mere coot, if he was around. But the mallards, while not big fighters, are certainly sly, and seem to often wish to test the boundaries. In this scene, we had arrived back at the boat in a rainstorm, and I was looking out at Mrs. mere coot with my camera as she sat in the rain atop her nest. Abruptly, the rain tapered off and the sun opened onto the water in the sweetest way, and just as the last drops were absently slapping down, this pair of mallards came along.

Great Egret nesting
Pier at the base of the bridge in Wallisville, TX
I found a great site for Great Egrets! There must be a hundred of them or more, all creating and tending to nests. Bummer most of them are beyond the reach of my 400mm lens though. But there are some I could get a decent shot from. I didn't see any young ones yet, but I think there are eggs in some of the nests already. I'll definitely be going back soon and take my tripod. These were shot handheld in bright sun and I was lazy and didn't switch to spot metering which you must do for white birds on dark backgrounds.
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.
Shooting through the branches combined with people shy Osprey made this one a little difficult! This Osprey ended up circling the nest for quite some time & never landed to add the twigs! They would fly off as soon as they heard the shutter I think!
