Near our hotel on Waitangi, there is a 4-km. track that runs between the Waitangi Treaty House Reserve and Haruru Falls. After a bend in the track, we came on a tree filled with nesting Little Pied Cormorants, or shags.
Hey everyone! I hope your week has gotten off to a good start! As with many of nature's moments that I capture but not fully understand, I don't profess to know what's really going on here...I do know it's time for herons to start building nests but I'm assuming this is an osprey nest, perhaps abandoned...this heron spent the afternoon rearranging sticks and limbs as if it were making itself at home...I wonder if Mr. Osprey showed up after I left, to evict this possible homesteader? I may have missed an interesting encounter...LOL If anyone more familiar with the nesting habits of herons can elaborate on this scene, it would greatly appreciated!
Terns near Elliston, Newfoundland, on the Bonavista Peninsula. I think these are common terns (Sterna hirundo)
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.
Enjoying watching this lil one building their best. So wild how their instinct just knows what to do.

This challenge comes from a scrapbook of 104 things to photograph that Debbie gifted me. I knew exactly what I wanted to take a shot of. They are a set of Matryoshka nesting dolls, a classic Russian toy, that a friend brought back from a trip there in 1968.
Debbie's stack of nesting Christmas boxes prompted me to add the tree since, technically, I only took the photo this morning (after she'd sent her's). She's allowing it since I did have a plan in place, just never executed it.
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.
These four Jackdaws spent at least 30 minutes plucking hair from this Shetland pony's back and flying off with big fluffy beakfuls, that made them look like they had huge moustaches.
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.
Set of 5 nesting boxes, old, dovetailed joints and painted or decaled figures on each side of each box.
The Black-Crowned Night-Herons nest in trees at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I went to see them today! It is pretty cool!
Luckily we did not have to build our own nesting boxes. Not that it would be difficult, but it will save time! These were donated to us by our neighbor.
Russian Nesting Doll. This doll was made in Russia, and inside this 12 inch doll was a bottle of Russia Vodka.
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.
