Here is the other photo of the nesting turtle that I like from yesterday. It was an awesome experience.

Our two remaining Eastern bluebirds are very busy making their nest. They are occupying the same box from last year. I guess they like the location!

Mock up of a nesting doll ornament. I'll be making these for people who deserve gifts, but I can't get anything proper for.
Barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) in a nest under the footbridge leading to Theodore Roosevelt Island. Usually, these birds are busy flying around at high speeds.
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.
Dec 8/11 another kind of nesting. beautiful nests at my coworker's home make me miss living rurally...
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)

A peaceful moment in their day. At least from the camera's perspective. These two Blue Herons are nesting just past the first pavilion at Wakodahatchee Wetlands,
Seagulls from the Pacific coast fly over the Sierra Nevada mountain range to nest and raise their young on the lake. Ten times saltier than the ocean, the lake only supports tiny brine shrimp which the gulls feed on.
This bird was photographed from a safe distance and was totally undisturbed by me taking this photo....

I have been checking these artificial nesting boxes put up by the river to attract sand martins (Riparia riparia) since early Spring, but have never seen a single martin here; clearly whoever erected them didn't account for the fact that sand martins, on seeing the "keep out" sign, well, kept out.

Having a house is one thing, having a home is a whole other thing. The details and love you put into them are what make any day-to-day activity (cooking, eating) a moment to look forward to. All this requires a prelude, a mise en place that goes from preparing a meal to setting up the table, and the attention you give to all its parts will take care of the rest. Some have the luck of being born with this kind of gift of making any event a magical one; others (most of us!), do not have that advantage. That is when Nesting Newbies comes in to save us like Superman always does to helpless Lois Lane!
Nesting in rock wall. This is the second clutch for the season and it would appear that earlier chicks are helping with feeding (but I'm not sure as they seldom land close to the nest entering or exiting the hole)

I've taken this picture of a swan nesting next to the lake in Moses Gate Country Park, Farnworth, Bolton.

On April 2nd I posted a photo of two eagles mating at this nest at 3Tree. I believe she is now sitting on egg(s) because of how she is sitting and that she was there all the time I was. If they lay eggs 5-10 days after successful copulation, it must not have been successful on the 2nd because she was not nesting on the 15th. So if eggs were layed sometime in the last 3 days then there should be eaglets around May 23rd or so. Woohoo!!! I'm so excited.
05/10/11 -Been checking on the nest every few days and taking photos but they all look like this. Hopefully couple more weeks and BABIES.
