In Rockport, Texas there is a 9 acre park of coastal windswept Live Oaks which is a rookery where so many Great Blue Herons nest each year. This is from early March this year when I was on a bird watching trip in southern TX. I might note that there are some Great Egrets that nest there as well.

Tit nesting in a letter box at my mother-in-law, so, there is an alternate ”box” in use for bills and letters, but hard to open the gate to not disturb the temporary resident… ;)

Mother Goose, #selfie , she never took her eyes off me as I walked just a few feet away from her. She probably knows me, sees me every year, and watched me rototill the garden all day.

I didn't realize she was there until I took a break when the tide went down .

Looking a little more closely at some photos from Thursday, it seems this Yellow Warbler was working on her nest. Cornell's All About Birds website says Yellow Warblers build their nest over a period of about 4 days, so there's a good chance she's already laid her eggs!

Beware of Chicago's infamous red-winged blackbirds.

But also, check out the entertaining signage!

It's not all hype -- I've been badgered by these birds many times during nesting season while I've been out and about.

#WhereIsJoeNow

This sandy activity area for humans was confiscated by a sea turtle for egg laying. The humans will watch over it, though, because it takes a village. When the hatchlings "boil over", they will be directed to the beach by experts.

Sea turtle nesting is at record levels here. At night, humans have to keep lights down to a minimum. Mother turtles can then lay eggs. And hatchlings can follow the stars to the sea.

2/ (Monday)

A few benches in a pattern have a triangle of red tape around posts marking off a spot in the middle. There is a formal sign saying Turtle Nesting near the red tape. The sand within the taped area is disrupted.

And the highly-assertive wrens usually follow me all around the yard when I'm out there, chittering (vocalizing danger) all the way. Interesting: I just filled the hummingbird feeder that is close to their new nest box, and the male wren just kept singing his song. Maybe he remembers me (finally) from last year?! #Michigan #birding #nesting #nature #wildlife

Susan

The adorable and super-assertive house wrens arrived in West Michigan last week. They took over the nest house that the black cap chickadees had their sights on (this happens) - my yard has four possible boxes for both chickadees & wrens. Desperately hoping the chickadees will still choose an available box. At one point last summer I had 3 wren pairs nesting simultaneously but still had one successful black cap chickadee pair fledge their chicks. #Michigan #nesting #birding #nature #wildlife

I don’t see many goldfinches but recently stumbled across a nesting pair. Their nest is in a tree besides a number of gorse bushes next to the River Dee in #Aberdeen. This particular photo shows one of the goldfinches with some material in it’s beak prior to returning to the nest.

It isn’t the sharpest photo I’ve taken of a #bird but with the blurred foreground and background I think it works okay. I’m excited to visit the area again with my new camera and lens tomorrow morning!!

Great Egret - Mom & Newborn in Nest

In the midst of nesting season, here is a hatchling and mom in their nest.

Very cute fluff balls, they soon turn into boisterous 'teens' with buzz-cut haircuts & Bart Simpson attitude.

And here is a video of some juveniles doing what I called "Dance of the Great Egret":

A good overview of how the new native #CSS #nesting feature differs from the nesting logic in #sass and why it generates significantly different results.

And because it fits so well thematically, here again a very good explanation of how the `:is()` selector actually works.

We were just taking the Christmas lights (don’t judge 😂) off the Rhodo and we got dive bombed by a hummingbird! Another one flew by after we stepped back. I think we might have disturbed a nest. 😢 😢 I hope we didn’t hurt anything and they come back! We won’t do anything more! #gardening #hummingbird #birds #nesting #spring

A bright blue sky. There is an angry humming bird flying way up in the sky. Then he swoops back and down toward the camera and back up in the sky.

Options for developing a former reservoir site in Lichfield are limited, but the council have installed six floating islands of organic matting planted with aquatic plants. These islands will hopefully encourage birds to nest.

We received a parcel with sheep’s wool packaging at Christmas. I kept it & have scattered clumps around the garden…in plant pots, hanging on trees & shoved in hedges. Have seen dunnocks & robins taking it away so far. Will be some cozy, sheepy 🐑 nests about ☺️

@loren I have Australia's largest bee for you: Megachile monstrosa.

Marked as sensitive as it may appear scary, but this solitary bee uses her huge mandibles to dig a nest in solid wood.

In the last photo, you can see her enlarging a knot hole while a gasteruption wasp (parasitic) waits for an opportunity to lay her egg on the bee's egg. Wood shavings were falling on me as I took this photo from below.

Close-up photo of the front of a dark grey bee's head. She has large black eyes, enormous black mandibles, a white hairy moustache and some white hairs between her eyes.

Side-on photo of a large dark grey bee sitting on a plank of wood. She has white hairs covering her waist, underside and front of the head, large black eyes and enormous mandibles.

Photo, taken from below, of a large dark grey bee carving a nest in a flat piece of wood. The bee's head is not visible as it is in the hole. Here waist and underside are covered in white hairs.

Hovering beside, and looking in the hole, is a very long slender wasp with a needle-like black ovipositor with white tip on the end.

There's one important thing you should know about the new CSS Nesting capability. It differs from SCSS in an important and admittedly a little bit annoying way. That said the workaround is very easy.

#CSS #webdev #nesting #scss

/*
CSS Nesting will work very similar to SCSS but with 1 very important difference.
*/

/* The code below will work. */
article {
.second-paragraph {
color: red;
}
}
/* The code below won't work.*/
article {
p {
color: blue;
}
}

/*
For technical reasons element selectors can't be the item in a child selector. I don't know all the reasons but likely it has to do with CSS properties beig written similarly, and generating the CSSOM. Backward compatibility of CSS, etc.

The solution - honestly is very easy and will make sense if you've used SCSS.

Research from Europe has shown large #solar farms can enhance the diversity and abundance of plants, grasses, #butterflies, #bees and #birds.

What’s more, vegetation between solar panel rows can also provide travel corridors, nesting sites and shelter for #wildlife. Management strategies are key to maximizing these benefits of solar farms.

Each year between March and October, thousands of sea turtles find their way to the beaches of coastal Florida to lay their eggs. The nesting sites are marked with stakes and ribbon as shown here. This scene is repeated over and over up and down the coast. Exciting times.

There is lots of green space flooded at the moment.
Please keep a close eye out for hedgehogs that may have been washed out of their nests.
They should be rescued and a rescue contacted for admission.
The last couple of days we have seen an increase in admissions and all hedgehogs have been in need of assistance.

Birds #nesting, or an advertisement for the Alfred Hitchcock movie?. Suddenly the #trail moves out onto the beach (you were never far from it) Hitchcock's Stunt Doubles. and if you packed that lunch.. you're almost at the picnic table

Any Questions yet? Are you planning to add this destination to your summer?

#WAYCTV #TaylorHead #Park #Trail #Nature #Hiking #Ocean

A sign warning of nesting birds. The rocky shores are easy camouflage for new babies or eggs on the shore

Closer to the trailhead, the trail sometimes steps out onto the rocks of the beach, not as easy walking but scenic. Walk slow, watch for seals.

Birds in a group on the water. Looks like ducks from a distance. The opposite shore, is the same type of rocky shore, on the island

Almost at the trail head, you can see rocks that form islands and rocky shores with breakers rolling over them, in the almost open sea. A picnic table is out here, to relax and watch marine life, feel the sea breeze and rest before the second half of the trail
