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.
Malclm Ware, the Fife Recorder and I were out bird watching last weekend and we had a lovely time watching a pair of dippers nesting down the Lade Braes in St Andrews.
Part of the bilingual signage trying to discourage people from invading a relatively tiny area of beach near Accabonac harbor. It seems to work about 80% of the time. Based on my experience, dog owners are often the least attentive to the sign's entreaty.
A vintage find photographed for my etsy shop: How Now Design. Please see my profile for a link to my shop. SOLD
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.
For the first time ever, a pair of robins built a nest in the maple tree. Crows were constantly trying to get into the maple tree, but the robins were vigilant and attacking the crows.
Nesting on Broadwater Lake, Godalming, and keeping an eye on me. Hopefully the three eggs will hatch.
I know this looks like just another rabbit photo. When I left for work this morning I saw a very large hole that was dug into the front lawn. I had a suspicion a momma rabbit was hard at work. When I came home tonight I saw her butt sticking out of the hole and the rest of her digging away in the front lawn. While she was hard at work, a few of the local "tree rats" were lurking around checking out her activities. I hope the tree rats are not meat eaters.
Shags nesting on the cliffs at Butt of Lewis, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Easy to think of these birds as being a plain black, but there is a lot of texture and detail in their glossy, green-black feathers.
The nest, in a hollow tree trunk, is beside a main footpath through the park, but the birds do not seem too perturbed although the male stands protectively on the footpath.

Shot from trail south of MdO. From their positions, one would assume that they flew in forward. makes sense, but take off looks like it might be a bit of a flutter.
Boston, Massachusetts, USA: Boston's Public Garden at its best with Swan Boats on the lake and the real-deal, Swans, nesting their eggs in the foreground!
