Full moon summer nights in Sekania beach. Martha, a long term Archelon volunteer happily waits one of the last turtles of the season to lay her eggs.
This nesting box is on a post in a pond on the Bridgeport Bar between Bridgeport and Brewster, WA. I had heard that there were Western Screech Owls nesting in one of these and got 2 short glimpses of a face twice that looked like an owl. Was unable to get a photo. 6/24/2013

Five nesting boxes in a shelf system that keeps the boxes dark and separates chicken access from people access. The birds get in and out of the boxes via the alleyway between the boxes and the wall. A second shelf with 5 more nesting boxes will go above this one. To simplify periodic cleaning, the nest boxes are bottomless - just pull the box off the shelf and the soiled litter falls to the floor. Covering the shelf with linoleum should help with cleanup too.
The height of the shelf is more for our convenience - so we don't have to stoop to reach into the nests for eggs. We have a few heavier birds (Black Jersey Giants) that probably won't be able to flap their way up to the landing pad on this lower shelf. I'll add a ramp underneath the shelf later for pedestrian access at the far end of the shelf.
I found a roll of linoleum scraps in the garage left by the previous owner, and it was exactly the width of the shelf. Perfect!
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.
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)

Seen in my garden this morning. Watched as he took this material to the nesting box that is on our back wall. Glad to see it being used.
Seems with the sunshine, the sparrows and blackbirds and now thew blue tits have been seen carrying nesting material.
It was so dark when I spotted this Swan as I drove along a road in Waroona, Western Australia. I had to use ISO 1000 !
There is a shortage of water around as well !
The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird, a species of swan, which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. The species was hunted to extinction in New Zealand, but later reintroduced. Within Australia they are nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent upon climatic conditions. Black Swans are large birds with mostly black plumage and red bills. They are monogamous breeders that share incubation duties and cygnet rearing between the sexes.
Described scientifically by English naturalist John Latham in 1790, the Black Swan was formerly placed into a monotypic genus, Chenopis. Black Swans can be found singly, or in loose companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands.[2] Black Swans are popular birds in zoological gardens and bird collections, and escapees are sometimes seen outside their natural range.
