Atlantic Puffin collecting nesting materials on Skomer Island. We got to the island a bit earlier than we did last year, and a lot of the puffins were still building their nests. It seemed to make them care even less about the people watching them...

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 :)

The nest on the beach were impressive enough, and packed, but the crazy ones were those back in the forest. Forest penguins! Fluffy brown chicks, too.
DSC_3864: Nesting Osprey on July 3rd, 2014 at Grand Lake, New Brunswick. I spent about 30 minutes taking pics and videos of this very cooperative subject on her nest today. She wasn't afraid of me at all, and just sat on top of her nest brooding over her young one.
Rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus). Wreck Bay bushwalk, Northbridge.
This lorikeet was paired with another (who flew off). They are raising chicks in the tree hollow here.
I was so happy to finally find these in town on Craigslist. Not really a "deal" at $100, but they are in mint condition, and I didn't have to pay for shipping!
Up and over...Coot leaps from the water to bring nest building twigs and branches on to the pontoon in the old dock near Techniquest in Cardiff Bay,South Wales,UK.
When walking across moorland above Askrigg on the 31st May 2013, I suddenly came across this female Red Grouse, hunkered down on its nest. This photograph serves to demonstrate how effective the Grouse's camouflage is, so much so that I was virtually upon it before I realised that there was a nesting bird in front of me.
A very interesting nesting site of Anthidium manicatum, Anthidium septemspinosum, Anthidiellum strigatum, Halictus quadricinctus, Halictus scabiosae and Halictus sexcinctus and also Philantus apivorus and many others parasits (Chrysis) or cuckoo-bees.

In mei leggen alle vogels een ei.
This Dutch saying (literally translating to: "In May all birds lay eggs") is especially true for this diligent little blackbird, who frequently uses the ledge of my balcony as a stop between gathering wood and leaves and its soon-to-be king-sized nest.
