Mother Coot nesting.
A sunny afternoon spent at Thornton Reservoir.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photographs
This is a super sweet set of stand alone totes for knitting, crocheting, sewing...whatever. The large tote measures 11and 1/2 inches; x 10 and 1/2 inches; in diameter and the small tote is 5" by 7" in diameter. They are both fully lined and are made with fleece batting to keep them standing. The large tote holds 15 balls of yarn 6 inches; in diameter! It is bigger than you would think. The smaller tote is so cute and great for stitch holders, cable needles and whatnots!

Nini was pleasantly surprised to see the humans gathering good nesting material to make their nest warmer. They stuffed it into the walls and below the roof. Normally they weren't as sensible and seemed to opt for harder, less cosy materials. However, she was more than a little bemused that having made the effort to make their nest so cosy, they then proceeeded to drill big holes in it to let the cold air in. They called it 'ventilation' but Nini just thought it was plain stupid!

Boston Public Garden Swan Boat Pond, nesting swans by the pond in a protected area to keep spectators from getting too close. There are a number of eggs in the nest and Mom and Dad jostle around to make sure they got them all covered, cygnets may be arriving soon.
I assume that this is a female Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) perched on her nest in the Rookery area of Bluff Lake at the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge near Starkville, Mississippi.
If you look closely in the larger sizes, you can see her baby in front of her through the twigs.
These are based on the five favorite countries of the recipient of these dolls. I doubt it needs to be said, but by no means do I think everyone in these countries wear what is depicted. In fact, I think Denmark is actually based on a picture of a Norwegian.

One of my favorite birds to photograph and watch. Avocets are of beautiful coloration, I love their calls, and they are quite active wading birds. I was able to sneak up on this one while she was sitting on her nest. It is remarkable how well they blend in with the ground and backgrounds they choose to make thier nests. All rights reserved.
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.

Our two remaining Eastern bluebirds are very busy making their nest. They are occupying the same box from last year. I guess they like the location!

The trumpeter swans at the Kansas City Zoo started nesting a couple of weeks ago. No eggs yet, alas.
