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!
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.

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.
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.
A Female Blue Bird has taken advantage of a nesting box. I learned this week that the screen "porch" is called a Noel Gate. It protects eggs and nestlings from cats and other predators. The male mate can be seen in the comments. Blue birds have such gorgeous colors. They are fun to watch as they go after bugs.
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!
The Treecreeper is nesting in a hole in the tree which has the light coloured bark.I only noticed it as I saw small bits of wood moving with the bird on the tree.Its a dead tree and bits keep falling off it.
Day 107
Walked past this house today on my way to work and spotted this pigeon nesting. Made a nest right on the front of a house!
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.
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.
I was taking photographs of the berries on the Spindle Tree and suddenly realised I was been watched by this pigeon nesting at head height.
I believe this is the same swan on this little pond that had the same nesting spot last year, unfortunately, that nest was abandoned with two eggs in it, lets hope she has better luck this year.
