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
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.
Striated pardalottes have been nesting in the water reservoir of our hanging baskets for 3 years now with a bit of a population boom after the very first pair started on our front verandah we think they and their offspring are returning and using more of our hanging baskets.
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.
A set of easy to inspect tray-style nesting boxes designed by Gord Hutchings of Hutchings Bee Services and built by Dan Keane from the Saginaw Conservation District. They are installed at MSU’s Horticultural Gardens and can be seen at the fourth annual MSU Bee Palooza. Photo: Ben Phillips, MSU Extension
Very creative, and might be on the birds' Christmas present list, but none of these would suit our blue garden.
This is the inside of a set of Russian Nesting Dolls. It is wooden but looks like terra cotta in the picture.
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.
two years later, a finished set of nesting boxes... no longer appropriate for the 18-month old, but perfect for visiting 7-month old girls!
Back to Rondeau Park. Besides all the migrating birds, the trees of this carolinian forest offer great photo opportunities. This nesting mourning dove sat quietly high up in a sycamore tree.
We visited Rondeau Provincial Park for three days for the spring migration and it was wondeful. The weather was better than last year, as in not cyclonic. It is a great place to take a bike as the park is a flat spit that stretches along the north shore of Lake Erie. There are lots of trails and boardwalks and a variety of habitats ranging from sandy beach to carolinian forest to scrub, tall grass savannah, and wetlands. Hence the abundance of migrating species and all the new growth in and around the forest.

Just outside the bedroom window, near where I often sit at my computer desk, a robin began building a nest in late April. It seemed a foolish place to nest, for the tree is small and stands close to the front door of our condo building. By the end of April the nest was finished and the robin began nesting in earnest. If the babies arrive safely, we should have a ringside seat to enjoy their antics.
A Nesting Swan along the cut to Geldeston, the male swan likes to see off every boat that passes, which can be rather intimidating for canoeists!
