This is a nest box on my neighbours shed which had previously been broken into, probably by a Woodpecker so I was amazed to see a pair of wrens raising a brood there. And yes they were successful. A t least one fledgling was buzzing around my garden the next day. See following photo.
This light-mantled sooty albatross was nesting at a rather secluded location. Fortuna Bay, South Georgia.

This Great Blue Heron and American Avocet were found nesting side by side on an island at the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area in Box Elder County, Utah. The funny thing was to watch the avocet chase the heron anytime she moved. I guess that you would have had to have seen it to think it was funny. In any case, these two don't look very happy and probably aren't good neighbors.
This is the time of year when Oropendolas build their long hanging-basket nests in the trees. I flock picks out a suitable tree, in this case a Corotu tree and there can be as many as 40-50 nests in one tree.
As you can see these are large brightly colored birds, almost cartoonish in their contrasting colors.
This nest is built on a special platform designed to encourage nesting and is visible from I-84 in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon
Nesting season is in full swing for the Great Egrets in Florida. See the display of feathers and the building of the nests.
Came home this afternoon to discover that someone had been trying to build a nest above my backdoor - without much success, thus the mess.
We are all in constant dialogue with the universe (whether we're aware of it or not.) Signs, symbols, and synchronicities abound. I get love notes and secret messages all the time. Not sure whether this is the former or the latter. In any case, I am paying attention. What next?
Superstitions in many cultures consider a bird's nest on/in one's house to be very lucky. I'll take all the good fortune I can get, however, I think the message here may be more complex than about just plain luck.
As a result of the slight relaxation of the StayatHome guidelines, I have been taking the opportunity to have a few day trips to locations that I hope wouldn't be too busy with other people. One such place is the Blackdown Hills and in particular where a few new clearings were created last year. I was watching Spotted Flycatchers when I noticed a Treecreeper returning to the same old tree. Then I realised that it was nesting behind the bark only a few inches off the ground. I have enjoyed watching the adults making repeated visits with all manner on insects. That is probably it for now as I do not wish to disturb the birds. All images taken from a very safe distance.
I enjoy a relaxing day just to spend time in nature observing the Great Blue Herons interacting with each other during nesting season. Prints available at DaleKincaid.com.
In late June 2015, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported observing several least tern nests at Grassy Flats. It is the first observation in more than 20 years of least terns nesting on the ground in coastal areas of Palm Beach County. This least tern is seen sitting over an egg in early July 2015.

I've kept these secret for a few weeks, but now am photographing and listing them online. I also have them with different colors of pearls and carnelian :-)
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.
