And of eggs and nests and birds on nests. Peregrine Falcon nests. Into the Nest , as the title says, is about the courting, mating, egg-laying, nesting, and parenting behavior of “familiar birds”. Cedar Waxwings exchange berries, carry nesting material, eggs. Egg biology, from Part I.

Here are three excellent but very different children’s books I enjoyed this year (two were published in 2013, one in 2011). They cut down the trees the parrots used for nesting and brought black rats, who ate their eggs, and honeybees who swarmed into their nests, and by 1937 there were only about 2,000 Puerto Rican Parrots left.

Of course I then had to continue and so once again in 2013 I joined others in listing for the year and have just completed the third year in 2014. The adult Pied Oystercatchers were still at their non-breeding site at Gantheaume Point and will no doubt lay their first eggs for 2015 in the first week of July.
