Very cute way to attract birds to your garden: Bird nesting box photographed at the Enchanted Maze Garden, VIC. Australia.
Hand-tied whole cloth quilt made with Heather Ross fabric. Appliqued with a large Matryoshka doll to cover burn holes from a dryer fire. Backed with fleece. I made this for my daughter to use at nap time at Nursery School. She is in love with Nesting Dolls and refers to them as "Open Babies".

I think that there are just the two eggs visible here.

I got up early yesterday morning to go into Valley Forge Park for some sunrise shots. It was beautiful but, didn't last very long.
The deer in the park are pretty friendly. I slowly walked up to this deer and shot as I walked because I wasn't sure when he would get up and run. As you can see, I got pretty close to this beautiful guy.

The downside of a weekend out of town followed by a non-stop kickoff to a new busy week - finding that it's almost the middle of the week before managing to jump in and catch up. I think I'm finally sorted and back on track though. Next up - visiting the rest of Flickr. Be by soon!

As a result of the slight relaxation of the StayatHome guidelines, I have been taking the opportunity to have a few day trips to locations that I hope wouldn't be too busy with other people. One such place is the Blackdown Hills and in particular where a few new clearings were created last year. I was watching Spotted Flycatchers when I noticed a Treecreeper returning to the same old tree. Then I realised that it was nesting behind the bark only a few inches off the ground. I have enjoyed watching the adults making repeated visits with all manner on insects. That is probably it for now as I do not wish to disturb the birds. All images taken from a very safe distance.
Canadian goose nesting in southern New Jersey.
The Western Canada goose has a black head and crown, a long black neck, and white cheek patches that connect under the chin. The adult gander (male) tends to be bigger than the goose (female) and averages 30 inches in length with a 60-inch wingspan.
Canada geese nest in areas that are surrounded by or close to water. Nest sites vary widely and include the shores of cattail and bulrush marshes, the bases of trees, the tops of muskrat lodges and haystacks, and unoccupied nests of eagles, herons, and ospreys.
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)
"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..
I'm not a competent videographer and I hadn't planned on getting my camera out today but I grabbed my 5D Mark II when I noticed some Red Mason Bees (Osmia Rufa) busying around a nest kit that I hung last year. The nests in my garden seem more popular this Spring, which I hope is a good sign…
To make the video a bit more interesting I removed sections of the footage where the bees were inside the nests.

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.
While birding at Barr Lake State Park on day one of our Big Birding Weekend, my dad and I heard the pounding of a woodpecker but couldn't track down exactly where it was coming from. I placed my hand on the trunk of this tree to brace myself as I looked peered around and felt the tree vibrate in sync with the sound of pounding. After that clue, I found the nest hole and seconds later this cute female Downy stuck her head out for this amazing photo.

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 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
