Seen in my garden this morning. Watched as he took this material to the nesting box that is on our back wall. Glad to see it being used.
Seems with the sunshine, the sparrows and blackbirds and now thew blue tits have been seen carrying nesting material.

We discovered a pheasant sitting on the nest, amongst the Hypericums and other shrubs for sale ... not totally convenient ... but what can we do .... so we put up a shield of plants and let nature take its course!
I now understand why I find nesting material in the feeder nectar. It's an unintentional deposit which is stuck to their bills. (Obvious now that I think about it.)
This bird wiped the material off on a branch before coming in for some nectar. Looks like the bill is deformed or possibly even broken.

We took the Loon nesting area signs down yesterday. It's been another successful year, one chick born and it's doing well.
When you're a novice chicken owner like me and you have questions about your hens, you go online to research. When you do so, you come across any number of beautiful, Pinterest worthy blogs devoted entirely to hobby chicken ownership, coop and run care, and keeping your flock as happy and kodak-moment ready as a group of six-year-olds at a birthday party.
These blogs have all of the correct answers, and you will feel like a neglectful and selfish bird owner stuck in the dark ages of animal husbandry. You will also wonder how these people keep their yards so beautifully manicured whilst their flock of 20 heirloom heritage breeds free-range their way through the garden.
Mourning Dove, (Zenaida macroura), nesting in Pine tree, # WV-10072905
This is "Mommy Dove." She raised five pair of squabs from this same nest last year. She is now nesting with her second pair this year (Mourning doves raise their babies two at a time, up to six pair a year).
This is really amazing - there are 5 to 10 trees each with multiple nests. Seems like there was full occupancy, but I couldn't really tell.

I think the little Burrowing Owls that live in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo are nesting or perhaps getting ready to nest? They are noisier than usual. They are one of my favourite birds and it is good to know that there are programs out there trying to protect this endanged species.
Interestingly, the gulls circling high here fill the role that raptors would fill, if they were here: they are carnivores, and they will prey on the guillemots.
Night before GB arrived. We had been to the Obstetrician who said GeeBee was engaged, and there was a 94% chance she would arrive before she had to be induced the following week.
I went for 2 walks on the beach and we had a hot green curry for dinner. This photo was taken at 10pm when I decided that our bedroom drawers needed to be contacted! Needless to say, I started having my first contractions at 2am that night!!
This female blackbird is nesting on top of a light in a corridor to a row of council owned flats, near to my place of work, even at this time of year the light still comes on at dusk and off at dawn providing her with extra heat for the eggs.
A grab shot hand held through my bedroom window, (should be making the bed....)
A pair have built a nest in our garden box, they feed each other and are very loving, but they look identical. Isn't the female more brown less red?
Should anything develop I will use a tripod with the window open and try again!
