prefolds! These are preemie and infant sized. We also have a ton of regulars thanks to Georgia and some premiums left over from Sam. Obviously not everything is going out at once. No room and babies start out small.

Wow! I can't believe I really got to see a nesting green salamander! You cannot imagine how stoked I was when my sister shined this at Secret Spot, AL! She was a good ways back in the crevice, but I managed a photo or two (or three...) and some video. Females guard their eggs non-stop until they hatch. When the babies hatch they will stay with their mother until they fully absorb all their yolk and disperse. Green salamanders are so unique and rightly my favorite salamander species.

A nesting endangered California Least Tern. Didn't have the reach to get a great image but an uncommon shot nonetheless.
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.

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)

Noisy, feisty and crowded; the magic of Inner Farne. There is almost an aggressive feel to the Kittiwakes' bonding ritual, a bit like that of the Gannets when they clack their bills together

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!).

Seems we've got a young family in our wisteria in the backyard. Makes me smile.
This nest is about 4 feet off the ground, buried in the wisteria vines. I pulled the vines back a smidge to take the shot, and promptly (and gently) moved them back. I don't have any idea what kind of bird is nesting here - other than she is small and the daddy has a red breast, and they aren't robins.
I'll keep you posted.
We've had cliff swallows in the front entry for the last few years, it's still early for them, and they haven't returned yet. Their nest is too high to see into, so this is a real treat for me.
I think Pops has been watching too much SpringWatch. He seems to think he has to sit on Mr T's seedlings so they will hatch ;O. OOps.
