Turtle nesting is a serious affair. Lights out are strictly enforced. The baby turtles will head towards the lights instead of the ocean.

Yesterday, we discovered a bird's nest only a few feet off our front deck. As we are constantly out there (and our barking dog as well), I don't think it will disturb Mama if I take a few shots. When the mama is off hunting for yummies for the babies - we've seen two - I hope to get a shot or two of the babies. They are soo cute with their little mouths wide open just above the leaves. I wish I could move those leaves! Wouldn't dream of it though - okay, maybe dream, but would never disturb their home!

Kittiwakes on the side of the castle ruins in Dunbar - they nest all over the castle ruins that overlook the harbour. They are quite a sight and make quite a sound too
Bird nesting in a partly burnt out tree. I almost stumbled over her in the forest - I do not know who was most scared in the beginning - befora I withdrew and took some pictures.

This species has made an apperance in Utah:
This bird was first reported on 26 May(1999). I don't know exactly how long after that it stayed but I don't think it was more than a week after our sighting. We watched the bird fly back and forth about three times along the wooded (willows and cottonwoods) section of the reservoir. Apparently it would perch out of view from shore on the water side of this wooded section. The water level of the reservoir was very high with many of the trees flooded. As it flew by it was often harassed by the numerous gulls in the area. At one point it swooped down and picked a fish out of the reservoir. It was immediately "ganged" up on by the gulls and lost the fish. (submitted by Steve Summers, Utah Rare Birds Report)

Nesting Coot next to a weir by the Grand Union Canal. An old shot found on a very old hard drive, which still works. All buy good tech!
From what I could tell, this Yellow Warbler was ripping apart an old nest for nesting material rather than building a new one right there.
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.
