I found the dry lavandula
I felt the sensation of nesting
I picked up the leaves and the hedera
I reaped the rose fruit
I made the liquidambar leaves branch
I composed the nest
I photographed
And in the end it flew away...

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

Day 107
Walked past this house today on my way to work and spotted this pigeon nesting. Made a nest right on the front of a house!
Double Crested Cormorant carries nesting material to his waiting mate. We enjoyed watching the bonding antics of the pair each time they came together.

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.
