It was overcast because a storm was blowing in from the southwest. I found several pair of Black-capped Night-herons on their nests. I was happy to get this shot before exiting the park.

Northern Cardinal ~ (Cardinalis cardinalis)
This determined female Northern Cardinal eventually won this tug-of-war with a stubborn piece of Spanish Moss. She is looking for ideal nesting material for a cozy new nest.
Thanks for visiting!
I found the most delightful woven chair while we in Home Depot yesterday. My husband was searching for some specific replacement lightbulbs and I was beat, so I crawled into this egg chair and tried to figure out where I could put it in my home. There's not many things that I covet now but this chair is a real charmer and I have no place for it ... sigh :)

This area is roped off for breeding birds. Most of the time people are pretty good about respecting the areas. Other times....Not so much.
An ‘alae ‘ula prepares a nesting site in the reeds and grasses adjacent to a brackish marsh. The Hawaiian gallinule (Gallinula galeata sandvicensis) was listed as endangered due to habitat loss and predation. In Hawaiian mythology, the ‘alae ‘ula brought fire from gods to humans.

I captured this swan working on her nest at our favourite local park! We had so many amazing wildlife encounters on our Monday night walk!
You just never know where birds are going to nest. There is a very large tree right at the edge of Waterbird Regional Preserve, a 198-acre area comprised of a wetland and the associated uplands to the east. Every year numerous Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets and Great Blue Herons return to build their nest in a huge eucalyptus tree there. From a distance this tree looks as though it has been “TP’d.” The birds are currently in the process of nest building but it’s always fun to watch them flying back and forth gathering sticks. We can’t wait for the chicks to hatch and will be updating our Flickr pictures when that happens.
Scarborough Bluffs Conservation Area
Trumpeter Swans build their nests on a site surrounded by water and usually less than 600 feet from shore. The nest is usually built on an existing structure including muskrat and beaver dens, beaver dams, floating vegetation mats, small islands, or manmade platforms. Swan pairs often use the same nest site year after year.
Nest Description
Both sexes collect plant material to build the nest, which includes a foundation topped by a mound of aquatic vegetation, occasionally including grasses and sedges. The female uses her bill and body to shape a nest bowl atop the finished mound. The bowl’s lining may include a few feathers. Nests take 14 - 35 days to build and the completed oblong or circular nest mound can reach up to 11 feet across and 3 feet high, with a bowl measuring 10 - 16 inches across and 4 - 8 inches deep.

I'm seeing them often while they're working on the nest. I imagine I'll see them constantly once they get some eggs and chicks.
I'm beginning to think they're red-shouldered hawks.
