I apologize for not being too "present" these last few days. You see I have been outside almost every sunlit hour gardening and doing cleaning the "nest" just like my fine feathered friends. I absolutely love the bird who built it's nest under the canopy of the summer bird information display. I can't wait to discover which of the birds it might be.
I have just found out two lovely little doves weaved a nest in a shelf on my terrace ... what an enchanting gift to guest them!

How sweet! I have one that has built a nest on my patio...inside a light.

I've done the same the last two days. Outside, not inside, the weather has been too nice to stay inside a moment longer than necessary.
We found a tiny nest today made almost entirely from moss, very sweet - a wren I think. You have such smart looking geese in Canada.

We have two busy nesters around the plantings at our front door. I find myself tiptoeing as I come and go from the house!

I doubt there's anything softer on this planet than a mama goose's nest...lovely pictures! I would love to be an egg snuggled up in there.

Our garden constantly flickers with nest building and I am so pleased...I hung up the woolly fir cones I made at Christmas from your blog and now there are fluffy trails whisping! (new word?) from them as the birds pluck at them for soft nesting material.....and I shall have the fun of making new cones next Christmas! :)

I'm so glad to see this goose cleaning the nest! I pass a goose nest on my walks lately and I always wonder what it looks like underneath. When I see her - she is just laying like a dead duck with her neck way out (but one eye one me) haha. Great pictures and very nice blog!
