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 !
Here’s a fantastic way to get a 3-piece drumset to your gig. Just grab your favorite snare and you’re ready to roll. Oh and that black hardware over purple looks pretty sweet too! 9x12, 15x15, 16x20; plied maple; satin wax.
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.
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.
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.
Rainbow lorikeets are starting to nest very early this year, it's still the middle of winter.

There are literally more than 2 dozens of Great Blue Heron nests in Stanley Park. Those trees are like high rise buildings for them - one on top of each other and side by side. Just hate those branches but without them they won't even nest there. I guess that is nature. Below is the uncropped image to show you what I mean.
Ever since the sun came out a couple days ago, my brains sorta drained away with the melting snow and all I can think of is staying warm and cozy in my nest. Baileys [check], Vov [check], christmas candies and panettone [check, check] and a ton of cheese and salami [staples so never need to worry about checking].
The Black-Crowned Night-Herons nest in trees at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I went to see them today! It is pretty cool!
Oooh! A bird with nesting materials!
This is an exciting time of year. Just this morning, I snapped this photo of an American robin with mud and leaves, pausing before darting off toward a fresh nest site.
I love it when birds nest in my yard, but I recognize that, depending on the location, a nest can definitely derail plans for a few weeks. Nesting season means it's best to avoid trimming the trees and shrubs. And when there's a nest in my yard, I tend to watch the chick development closely and flush the yard before letting my dogs out in case we have nearby fledglings.
This set of nesting envelopes was a custom request for someone who saw one of my Tiny Envelopes ( www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=259342 ).
He wanted to know if it was mailable, because he thought it would be cute to send a tiny love note to his girlfriend. (The answer is no -- Tiny Envelopes are too small to mail. The minumum letter size is 3.5 x 5" to mail via USPS).
This was his solution: A set of progressively smaller envelopes, nested inside one another, with a tiny note inside the smallest one.
Smallest envelope is 2-inches square.
Laregest envelope is 5.75 x 4.25 inches.

This is the time of year when Oropendolas build their long hanging-basket nests in the trees. I flock picks out a suitable tree, in this case a Corotu tree and there can be as many as 40-50 nests in one tree.
As you can see these are large brightly colored birds, almost cartoonish in their contrasting colors.
This is the outer-most nesting doll for an upcoming show at A.Okay Official in Chicago. Keep an eye out for more photos as this progresses.
