Photo taken on New Island in the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas). This small island has a 3 penguin species nesting on it, a Black-browed Albatross colony, and great subantarctic scenery.

Nesting, can be a long process. Nurturing children is a long and on-going process too. Yet, most mothers are able render unconditional love in caring for the children.

I have no idea where this bird was planning to take this nesting material, since we have made every potential nesting site on our property unusable, but they're still flying around with beaks full of stuff, looking for somewhere to put it. (If you haven't read the rest of this saga, please don't feel sorry for them - once they've got young, or even an egg, they attack everyone, drawing blood. They are, officially, vermin, despite their beauty and elegance.)

There is a mother dove and eggs nesting in my pothos plant on the porch.

 

Crazy birds all over the place. lol If I had a decent lens I could have shown you the chicks in the nests.

At one of the Rideau Canal Lock Stations, we saw a nesting osprey and her mate. Osprey's are part of the eagle family.

This robin hopped out of the compost with nesting material in its mouth.

It wasn't my intention when I started making this, but I think it looks like a Russian Nesting doll.

 

My first thought when I began it was, "Can you see me?" But as she began to take shape, I kept hearing, "I am a part of something bigger than myself."

The osprey pair Dos and Tres Rayas are nesting at the Mexican restaurant again! Hello my friend! I think this is mama. I did my best osprey impression and she responded in kind. It was cool because we were on the way to breakfast with my parents and I got to show them one of "my" bird families. =o)

 

I named them for their stripes on their wings. On one of them "two stripes" show, and on the other "three stripes" show. I don't speak spanish, but since they are nesting and raising their young in the parking lot of a Mexican restaurant, I thought the names were fun. They successfully raised two chicks last year. I got to watch them from the nest to flight school! Hopefully I will again this year.

 

Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

Perched precariously on a security light, this Dove had made its nest. Up a ladder I went to take this picture, and very quickly the Dove, obviously, didn't like presence. I didn't hang around for long....

This didn't do my vertigo any good

I made this drawing with prismacolor markers on watercolor paper.

It looks as though this red kite is collecting wool to line its nest
