On our way walking to Paleis Het Loo, lots of nesting-boxes in a variety of colors (not shown here).
You can see a bunch of the nesting birds in the trees, while some alligators swim around underneath waiting for a clumsy chick to fall into the water.
Step 1: find appropriate nesting materials
Step 2: add shiny personal effects
Step 3: get naked
Step 4: …
Step 5: nap!
Janice and I were thrilled to watch the construction of about eight nests as blue heron couples tore twigs from treetops and wove their nurseries, far above our heads. We wished we could have had a higher vantage point!
Work for upcoming show at: www.aokayofficial.com/ in April!
I can take commissions for custom nesting dolls :)

If you ever came into my home
you would know just how VERY tidy and clean I am !!!!!
To say I have OCD would be rather OTT
as I do not have any strange habits
and being tidy does not rule my life
but let's just say there kind of is a rule .....
Day One ..... Relax and Create one hell of a mess .....
usually due to experimenting with new creations
or having a total veg out, pig out and chill out
Day Two ..... Notice the 'One hell of a mess'
and remarkably add to it ten fold as I am usually too lazy to tidy up
Day Three ..... start to twitch ..... not literally
which leads me to go crazy and cleeeeean to my heart's content.
I have to say
I have a love hate relationship with my tidiness
and ride the wave of chaos until my nest is shining again
everything in it's place
yes ..... wardrobe colour co-ordinated and CD's on alphabetical order
and then I feel
calm

I was surprised to see this Little Grebe nesting on the pond in the middle of Summer. That's if you can call this mild weather Summer.
Midnight is when the Olive Ridley turtles come nesting at Kadmat. The islands are safe for them ... from the people. They protect them. But other predators ... specially dogs and birds .. do dig up the eggs.
This morning, 12-11, was pretty active with our local eagles! The male was doing all the work, while the female stayed at the nest. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come!😀

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 Mortar & Pestle by Aya Osada and Laura Urquiaga. Designed to address the problems of traditional mortars and pestles, the Nesting Mortar & Pestle features nesting mortars to accommodate various ingredients from small amounts of peppercorns to large amounts of leafy herbs. The large mortar contains a ball bearing mechanism that allows the mortars to rotate easily, which facilitates the grinding process. The interior of the pestle contains small steel pellets that employ the concept of inertia to ease the user’s physical effort. A silicone rubber layer on the base of the large mortar provides additional cushioning and gripping power. AWARD: 2005 International Home and Housewares honorable mention.
They do like to nest right on the edge of the small islands around the reserve, especially here where they share the area with black headed gulls. However, this nest is a little too close to the water, and emergency efforts to raise the level are under way. Didn't look as though it would work

After a while we found another group of people standing around a turtle. The leatherback turtle was huge and ancient, six feet from beak to tail. In the darkness we heard the slap and shuffle of her great flippers as she covered her eggs. We could not take photos and the only light was a faint red penlight which one of the guides shone from time to tome. (This is a simulation of what she looked like)
Two large female snapping turtles nesting at Lakeside Park.
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!
It was a cool day so we went shopping and this is the only photo I took. Driving through a chopping centre and saw a Canadian Goose sitting in a flower bed. When I got up close I discovered she is sitting on a nest and someone placed a water dish in the bed for her. Never know what a Canadian will do.
DSC_3874: Nesting Osprey on July 3rd, 2014 at Grand Lake, New Brunswick. I spent about 30 minutes taking pics and videos of this very cooperative subject on her nest today. She wasn't afraid of me at all, and just sat on top of her nest brooding over her young one.
