took down the buffed piece in silver-and-grey covered Ballard and put up this cute little nesting dog. We'll see how long it lasts, enjoy it while you can. Good times!
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.
Each spring that we have lived in this house I worry that there will be no nests in our birdhouses. But then the barn swallows show up, fashionably late.
My dream is to have bluebirds nesting here but I appreciate all of the bug eating that the swallows do. And I like watching them fly.
A vintage find photographed for my etsy shop: How Now Design. Please see my profile for a link to my shop. SOLD
Horned Lark on her nest. Looks like good weather in the forecast for the next week. That could be bad news since this nest is next to a busy soccer field. If successful, the eggs should hatch next weekend. According to the OBBA, April 20 is the "safe date" for Horned Lark nesting.

Added note: the lark stayed on the nest for 17 days, well past the normal incubation period. The eggs disappeared one by one, and finally she abandoned the nest with one unhatched egg remaining.
Fulmar, known as mallimack in Orkney dialect, (fulmarus glacialis) nesting on the cliffs beside The Gloup - a collapsed sea cave. These birds have an unusual form of defence - they vomit a foul smelling oil.
This photograph was taken on 11th August, the same day as I took the photo of the tiger. Again this is in San Francisco Zoo.
Willie (right) and Sprout(left) in their morning nesting place. While daddy's in the kitchen drinking coffee and using his laptop, they make little nests in the tops of the couch cushions and catch a few more ZZZZZ's.
I made a set of nesting boxes for BCO craft swap project. I designed patterns and printed them on colored papers which I used to cover the lids. Used chipboard under the printed papers for the tops, and used mat board for the bottoms. I cut strips of kraft paper and glued them over all seams, inside and out, for extra strength and neatness.
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!
Yesterday evening, we went for a walk around a local "duck pond" in hopes of seeing some ducklings and/or goslings to photograph. We were fortunate to see many of both, but we got a very nice surprise! Two pair of Green Herons nesting in the same tree! This pair is obviously sitting on eggs. She would not leave the nest and he was ever watchful! The evening light was excellent! Thanks for looking!
several Eagles were flying around near Glenwood, chirping at each other and carrying nesting materials... don't they know the snow is returning this weekend?

The tropicbird, or longtail as it is known in Bermuda, come to here to nest in the spring, giving birth to a chick in the summer. I didn't get as close to the bird as i could or should have, my preference was about 6 feet from the edge.
One of my favorite birds to photograph and watch. Avocets are of beautiful coloration, I love their calls, and they are quite active wading birds. I was able to sneak up on this one while she was sitting on her nest. It is remarkable how well they blend in with the ground and backgrounds they choose to make thier nests. All rights reserved.
