Living on the Edge, a'la Pacific Gull style.

Watched this seagull for quite a while before it stood up to reveal those 2 well camouflaged eggs.

Was thinking at the time how harsh an environment that particular spot is - facing directly into the cold south westerly winds here in the roaring forties. Yet it was ambivalent, after this shot, turning to face directly into the wind.

Takumar 2.8/120mm, cropped and scaled.

A Pacific Gull stands over it's 2 camouflaged eggs, looking into the nest as if making a decision. The nest of straw is atop a rocky outcrop, with ocean lapping below. The view is steeply downward from a high bluff above.

Spotted a bird nest while in the orchard. Tucked inside was a young bird that definitely had not fledged.

Closeup of a bird nest built in the crook of a twisted macoun apple tree. The nest is about 4 niches high and made from strips of dried plant material and mud. Sitting in the nest is an apple that has its upper half visible, its lower half presumably in the nest. The apple is a perfect size for the nest. In the foreground is another two apples that are rotting. In the background are green apple leaves and several apples still on branches.

Some pictures of a feeding

A very small hummingbird nest nestled in some small branches of a tree. Two large (relatively) babies near fledging are sitting in a small cup made of leaves and twigs, with the mom hovering in the air next to them. The babies have their beaks wide open asking for food. The mom's face is partially obscured by a tree leaf.

Similar as last picture, the babies have their beaks wide open asking for food, but now one is squinting cutely. The mom has her beak right near one of the baby's mouths.

A male Western Bluebird clinging to the side of a tree. It is looking into a hole in the tree trunk where its nest is.

Found another bird’s nest! Don’t expect regular pics because this one is much harder to get to and I only swung these ones because mama isn’t incubating eggs yet. My bird friend said it might be a wren’s nest? #birds #BirdNest

Photo of the side of a nest, made from small twigs and leaves, tucked into a branch of a bush.

Photo peeking down into the nest at a white egg with brown speckles.

I thought this looked like it might be a house finch nest the other day since I've seen them around. This morning I saw a brownish bird flying away from it, and this evening when I looked there was an egg in it that also looks like it could be a house finch.

A cropped closeup photo of a bird nest with one egg in the crotch of a small black locust tree. The nest is about 7 feet / 2.1 meters off the ground. It's size is about 3 inches / 80 mm diameter inside. The egg is off white with some brown spots mostly around one end. The nest is made with fine grasses and feathers and maybe spider webs.

Update on the doves that made their nest on these flower pots. (Meant to post this yesterday.)

I could’ve sworn there were two dove chicks, but I only see the one? I wonder what happened to the other one? Maybe it took its first flight? Sadly I won’t get a chance to see this one grow up and take its first flight as we are now on the next leg of our journey.

Ever seen a baby hummingbird?

These lil guys hatched less than 48 hours ago. The parents built the nest in the lowest branch of our crape myrtle tree. I told them to pick a thicker branch that doesn't move so much in the wind, but they didn't listen.
