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)

this was taken at the ballpark in Dunedin. The osprey are nesting all over in the lights and also on this old light post that I imagine was left there specifically for the birds. There are two in the nest (and perhaps more, but I saw two) although you can't see them both here in this shot.
The original pattern is just for the largest doll. I thought it might be more fun to do them as a chain, so I made the pattern 2 sizes smaller for the 2 additional dolls. i also sort of screwed up and glued the faces on instead of sewing them inside of the hood. I don't like it as well, I don't think, but I have to admit it would've been hard to cut the pieces for the smallest doll if I had tried to put the face underneath the hood...

I made Justin a set of nesting dolls- us and Chloe- for a Valentine's day gift. The dolls turned out great, although the lacquer makes them smell a little funny :/
Nesting boxes as sculpture. I'm so impressed that some enlightened body has installed this mini metropolis for birds in Duncan Terrace Garden in Islington.
My cat Bonny in among the honeysuckle and climbing rose branches on top of the rustic arch in my garden.
She didn't look very comfortable but she stayed there for a couple of hours in the heat of the day!
Not very Tenuous Link: Feline
They breed in trees along with other water birds. The platform nests are typically placed in a tree on an island or in an otherwise undisturbed area. The best nesting sites are at the tops of the trees and birds jostle for these locations. In some areas where they have been left undisturbed they nest very close to human habitations.[12]
The breeding season begins in the winter months shortly after the monsoons. In northern India, the breeding season begins in mid-August[17] while in southern India the nest initiation begins around October[18] and continues till February[19] and or even until April
A well-known colony that has been studied since the 1960s includes one inside the New Delhi Zoological Garden where the birds arrive about 30–40 days after the onset of the Monsoons in Delhi.[31] This colony is made up of 300 to 600 wild birds that make use of the trees within the artificial islands inside the zoo

Seen at Lily Pond in the Amana Colonies in Iowa...
A hiker coming the other way on the trail alerted me earlier about the nesting site. I only saw a single adult swimming away when I got to the spot. This video was shot after taking a break at the Millstream Brewing Company and then taking a second loop around the trail...
