I used 4.5 gallon buckets for nesting boxes. I have heard they are easy to clean, and the chickens like the confined space.

OK, I admit this photograph isn't going to win any prizes on it's photographic merit, but I decided to add it to my stream anyway because the Kittiwake is my favourite species of gull. The Kittiwake spends most of it's life out at sea, only returning to land to breed. If you listen to their call you will hear why they are called Kittiwakes, as they repeat their name over and over. I look forward to visiting this breeding colony each year and am always amazed how each pair manages to raise a chick on such a tiny ledge. Unfortunately this was the closest I could get with either of my cameras - can't wait till I get a DSLR and longer lens...!!

There are two of these birds nesting under my deck. I do not know if there are 1 or two chicks in their nest. It was quite active since I was near its nest but my back yard is not all that big.
A Sandhill Crane sits on her nest in a retention pond. They typically nest on the edge of the water, but after two days of hard rain the pond filled up quickly. I saw the pair yesterday and thought they were just feeding. Then when I went by today and one was in the exact same spot, I realized they were nesting.
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 mother dove nested in the bougainvillea outside my bedroom window. She soon came to trust me as I watered around her nest each morning and gently told her what a good mother she was. One day after her babies hatched, another bird attacked and killed her. I found her on the ground with her grieving mate standing over her, cooing. I removed her body and he flew away, but I could hear his mournful cry for days. I treasure what I learned about trust, nurturing and commitment from this mother dove and her mate.

There are four heron pairs nesting in the same large pine tree at Lake Seminole. Two appear to have completed their nests and are now brooding while the third and fourth pairs are still constructing nests.
Friends of Little Beaver Lake took on a project last year-- to erect boxes for
cavity nesting ducks. Here are two, near the lakeshore. It is amazing that the tiny ducklings jump out of these boxes soon after hatching, fall unhurt, and toddle away to the water.
a Canada goose from last spring, nesting on her own little island in the middle of the little pond at the Pennypack Trust,
LOL......I remember this because her mate was on shore with me and was becoming rather aggressive. He did a lot of neck snaking and hissing and chased me a little way down the path!
We have recently put up three new nesting boxes. Pam painted this one (three views) which went up yesterday.
Flamingo's on their nest. Both the male and the female contribute to building the nest for their egg and defending it together. They build nest of mud and lay eggs in the mud nest.
