During the summer of 2010 and again during the summer of 2011, The City of Kitchener will be studying turtles in natural areas across the City.
The main study locations for this project are the Huron Natural Area, Laurentian Wetland and Lakeside Park. Our project involves catching turtles and recording information about their age, sex and health as well as gently notching (putting a mark) their shells so that we can identify them when we catch them at a later time.
We are also working with a dedicated group of volunteers who are helping to monitor turtles in different natural areas. These volunteers are helping us to learn more about where and when turtles are nesting (digging holes to lay eggs) as well as whether the eggs are hatching and the young turtles are able to make it to the ponds safely. We have also started to protect some turtle nests from predators!
We will be sharing information about our project with people all across the City so watch for information about upcoming presentations and events on Kitchener’s Natural Areas website at www.kitchener.ca/knap.
Thank-you to the City of Kitchener Local Environmental Action Fund (LEAF), Region of Waterloo Environmental Stewardship Fund and TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for supporting this project!
At Nugget Point in The Catlins, southern New Zealand, you walk along a high cliff towards the Nugget Point lighthouse. Looking over the cliff you often see sealions. This time I saw Royal Spoonbill (the white spots dotted over the rock) nesting on this rock way below the cliff They have chosen some precarious situations to nest on.
A visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs reserve south of Scarborough, combined with lunch at Flamborough head, provided plenty of opportunity to observe the nesting Gannets, Fulmars and Kittiwakes at close quarters, whilst Shags were to be seen skimming the coastline just offshore. Bempton is the only mainland Gannet colony and presents quite a spectacle with thousands of birds rearing large grey fluffy chicks on the precipitous chalk cliffs
Nesting Product1 by sdenoual is a great example of how 3D modeling can help get things done in the real world. Sdenoual used CATIA V5 to help determine how much of each product would fit into this box and still leave room for packing materials. Adding transparency to the box makes for a great presentation and helps get the job done right.
Visited my native home in a small village during Bengali New Year and in one fine morning found this Great Tit collecting nesting material.
Herring Gull (Larus argentatus). St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. June 21st, 2014.
Normally I avoid nesting birds. However, I was taking geology photos and didn't notice the bird until I was close enough that it gave me a warning call. Since I was already that close I took this snap and went on my way.
A ways further up the trail I looked up and saw a nest. A tiny nest, too small to be anything but a hummingbird's. First one we've ever seen and while we were looking, the owner of the nest came back, watched us nervously for a while, then settled back in. We took a few snaps and got out of there, leaving her to her quiet canyon.

June 4th, 2013 - 44 Quiet Nights, Day 6 - A hike along Jones Hole Creek to its confluence with the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument.
We lucked out with this one, a big rockslide closed the trail two weeks later (closure notice here).
I made these nesting dolls using my Cricut and the Paisley cartridge. They range in size from 3 1/2 inches to 2 inches.

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.
A female African quailfinch collects nesting material from the regurgitated pellet of some large raptor, containing fur and feathers. It is generally believed that only the male collects nesting material, making this observation rather fascinating!
One always finds them in short, open grassland especially if there is water nearby.
One can tell breeding male and female apart by the darker upper mandible and grey (not black) face of the female.
