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...!!

We found this Northern Map Turtle in the process of digging her nest. It was a pretty good sized female, she was very heavy cause she was full of eggs.
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.

The female Blue-footed Booby lays two or three eggs. Both male and female take turns incubating the eggs, while the non-sitting bird keeps watch.
Since the Blue-footed Booby does not have a brooding patch (a patch of bare skin on the underbelly), it uses its feet to keep the eggs warm.
The chicks cannot control their body temperature up until about one month old. Eggs are laid about five days apart.
They nest on bare black lava in a small dip in the ground. The female will turn to face the sun throughout the day, so the nest is surrounded by excretion. These nests are done in large colonies. The male and female share quite a bit of their responsibilities.
The male will provide food for the young in the first part of their life because of his specialized diving. The female will take over when the demand is higher.

I wanted to do a unique take on BrickNerd's survivor theme for Nerdvember, so I made this set of Nerdly themed nesting dolls. When the outermost Nerdly is destroyed (by anything from small children to being hit by a deer), the inner Nerdlies still survive!

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.
