So I have a little nest collection. Yes, along with collections of rocks and decaying leaves… but you have to admit they are pretty cool. And all so different. I don’t know what birds built all these nests but everyone does it their own way. Little architectural gems. (Click to enlarge images.)
You should send these to CMN’s trading post/education centre! Very cool.
Wonderful! We have one in the front yard made of trash that our dog drug out – plastic parts, bags, and then feathers and twigs.
Thanks Tisha, they are creative builders for sure!
I have a book that touches on this and many other instances of animal architecture. I’ll dig up the title and let you know.
Great post, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, yes please send along the title.
I love these photos– beautiful compositions!
And they echo a future blog post of mine on happy accidents that has been percolating and swirling around my mind—in the sense of picking things up along the way that fate brings to us.
I would love to link to this post to give a visual metaphor for my own post!
Thank you Jon I appreciate your feedback, and feel free to link to my blog. 🙂
wonderful photos… all of them
Thank you David.
These are divine – how masterfully created. You are so lucky to have found these precious nests.
Aren’t they amazing! I’m glad you appreciate them too.
