North Seymour Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, South America
Day 2: Galapagos Islands (Photo Expedition)
Lindblad Expeditions & National Geographic
File Name: DSC_8346
Description & Photographer Notes:
This is one of many magnificent frigatebirds that were nesting and hanging out, mostly taking care of the baby. This female may be incubating the egg, a 42 day process, while the male is out looking for food.
The Galapagos are home to the only flightless species of cormorant. (I had one dive into the water next to me while I was snorkeling later on the same day that this photo was taken.) The bones in the nest are, according to our guide, the bones of some other cormorant that didn't make it.
Fernandina Island, Galapagos
The sandy beaches along the gorge are used as nesting sites by the smallish, harmless freshwater crocodiles. So you can't go on them. If you look closely you can just see crocodile tracks on the beach.
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.
This light-mantled sooty albatross was nesting at a rather secluded location. Fortuna Bay, South Georgia.
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.
At one of the Rideau Canal Lock Stations, we saw a nesting osprey and her mate. Osprey's are part of the eagle family.
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.
