"Nesting Box" by artist Ray Dingledine. One of the 30 artistic birdhouses on display throughout Lincoln during March 2011, then at the Grand Manse Gallery in early April 2011, before being auctioned off as a fundraiser for the Pioneers Park Nature Center.
Nest on the ladder on the side of the garage. I'm pretty sure I saw a robin fly off it. But how am I going to clear out the clogged front gutter if I can't move our ladder???
Nests are usually 600 to 900 mm apart and form regular lines due to the hexagonal shape of each territory, an arrangement that allows the birds to pack the maximum number of nests into a given area.
Occupied year after year, a typical nest grows from a low collection of seaweed, sticks, moss, and debris into a substantial heap of feathers, fish skeletons, and droppings accumulated from many generations of nesters.
I noticed this squirrel digging around in the leaves and then bringing some up this tree. I've seen squirrel nests before - clumps of leaves high in the trees - but never before seen one building a nest. Very busy and funny-looking. =)
Coot helping its mate build the nest on the pontoon in the former dock near Techniquest in Cardiff Bay,South Wales,UK
This little one has been busy buzzing back and forth, feeding and attending it's nest box. I have been watching other activity like this around the property in recent days (more pics of that activity coming up) so I was wondering if the Chickadees would come back to this "household." Sure enough, I was working around and a bird flew by. I checked and didn't see anything but suddenly heard some tapping from inside the birdhouse,lol. I was pretty tired but I wanted to get a photo so I made some chipping noises to see if it would show itself... sure enough, it peeked out, I took a quick picture, it flew out, perched up on a vine for a moment and went back to the opening.... probably letting me know they were back. I hope to get more pics.
- I was lucky enough to find a nesting swan last weekend and managed to spend a lot of time observing her maternal behaviors. Definitely something I'll never forget. Kennet and Avon Canal, Devizes.
Peaceful Doves, nesting in a ficus branch just above our main verandah steps. They had flown the next day and did not return.
On the banks of Lake Morton Lakeland Florida this Black Swan was happily nesting. Natives of Australia it is thought that these Florida populations come from escaped captive birds!
There's a robin nesting in my smoke tree! I've had mourning doves before, but never a robin. I'm not sure how long she's been there. I've got a clear shot of the nest from the craft room window. She won't even know I'm watching. Hoping for baby pics eventually.
The cassowary (genus Casuarius) is a very large flightless bird native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, nearby islands and northeastern Australia.
The other day I was in the Sydney botanic gardens and I saw a lorikeet next to a tree not moving much but calling out every now and again.
I though it might be injured or a runner so went to have a closer look.
Getting closer I saw that he was standing next to a hole under the tree. He wasn't too disturbed by me being there but after a few minutes he decided to pop down into the hole which is not something I was expecting. It must have been reasonably deep as he dissapeared completely tail feathers and all.
After a few minutes he popped back out and a second lorikeet poked it's head out momentarily before retreating back underground.
I think these two were just checking out this burrow as a potential nesting site.
