Check out those beautiful blue eyes !

the birds in my parent's neighbourhood seem to have worked out a roster for this nest... as soon as the babies fly, a new mother is nesting her eggs. it's incredible.

Red footed Boobies are the smallest of the family and can be found on Genovesa Island.

 

Red footed boobies are the only booby to be able to perch and nest in trees due to their smaller size and feet.

 

They nested in the incence trees and the mangroves.

Great blue heron (Ardea herodias) nesting area at Stanley Park, Vancouver.

There has been either red-tails or great horned owls at this nest site for several years. This year the red-tails won. However, not more than 100 feet away another nest is occupies by the great horned owls. I've never known top birds of prey to tolerate each others presence so close in proximity. When eggs hatch I wonder if they will become prey to the other species? I guess time will tell and I'll have to keep an eye on them. Nez Perce county, Idaho

Blue herons are nesting in this old cottonwood tree so I had a blind nearby, suddenly movement caught my eye when what I believe is a horned owl or merlin flew into a hole in the side of the tree. I took a shot simply so I could zoom in to see anything, I was surprized to see what appears to be one of her eggs. Note her tail feathers sticking out the hole. I'll have to keep a lookout here for youngsters !

This Turtle Dove has decided to nest in tthe flowerpot right outside my Mom's kitchen window. I never noticed that TDs had a beautiful turquois ring around their eye.

This female blackbird is nesting a few feet from the bin area at Christmas Hall in Bildeston, Suffolk. It didn't seem bothered by the comings and goings.

Mallard Hen on nest in pond at Honey Hollow Nature Center - Bucks County Audubon Society

I combed the dog on the deck this morning, throwing great gobs of hair over the side to eventually blow away with the wind (the great circle of life, and all that). This little guy came to steal some. I imagine what mommy bird will say... "you want to decorate the baby's room in dog fur?"

Not a good shot at all. Pete - I won't have access to take any more photos for a couple of weeks, so I'm guessing they will be hatched by then. They are nesting in the frond of a Bismark palm and I was standing on tippytoes with my view finder flipped out just to get this. I hope I get shots of the chicks.

We had a lovely late afternoon stroll around Dunham Massey in the sunshine to recover from the afternoon's Premiership drama.

Set of 5 nesting boxes, old, dovetailed joints and painted or decaled figures on each side of each box.

Rainbow lorikeets are starting to nest very early this year, it's still the middle of winter.

The river from Littledoe Lake to Tom Thompson Lake at Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. Spent 1/2 hour just chilling in my kayak and snapping away. I was slow enough in my movements to keep them relaxed. Enough so, that I was able to get within 10 feet of both the hatchling on dad's back and mom sitting on at least one yet to hatch egg. Truly wonderful experience.

I took this early May, and since then she has left the nest, so fingers crossed that I see the parents with their young on the lake the next time I visit YSP. UK. Spring

The Black-Crowned Night-Herons nest in trees at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I went to see them today! It is pretty cool!

A kind of crappy Iphone photo so I don't fall too far behind. I love my new glass bottle cutter.

The wind was coming hard from the heron's back.
