Taken at Fort Whyte Alive. One of several nesting geese in the raised nest boxes installed in the swamps and lakes
I've said "gulls" I guess they have a name! There is also another
breed I assume happly nesting in the same spot. It was a brief pass by in a tourist boat, I would like to go back.
Edited highlights of some of their nesting activity. Until I saw the bit at the end, I was wondering if they had been getting some assistance.
In the middle, where it suddenly looks more alert, was when a coot got too close and the other grebe chased it off.
This Shag has been gathering seaweed as a nesting material. Seen at the Butt of Lewis, Outer Hebrides.
This little Chiffchaff was waiting to feed it's young, but wouldn't go to the nest while I was near, which gave me a brief opportunity to take this shot.

I do believe this is a nesting goose, I could be wrong as I have never seen a goose's nest, but it looks like a possibility..........
Bushtits worked much of the day on starting a nest, gathering materials and poking it around the nest. First seen pulling a wad of spider webbing and taking it high in the pine tree, the Bushtit began the nest, which has a horizontal hole and hangs from a bend in the branch. Second day, the nest is hanging twice as far, full of feathers, tiny twigs etc.
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.
Went to Lake Guntersville for the Eagle Awareness Program. Saw 10 bald eagles, counting this one nesting at Guntersville Dam
Great weekend, even with the lousy weather. The rain kept us from seeing any birds Saturday, but Sunday made up for it.
Also tried out my new Canon EOS 7D for the first time
I was lucky to witness thousands of puffins nesting in the cliffs of Iceland's Tjörnes Peninsula. I had to inch along on my belly through tall grass in an effort to not scare away these skittish birds. I was happy to capture shots like this with a 200mm telephoto lens - and patience! These birds fly away in mid-August and won't return to land until the following spring.
