Spring Thoughts of Nesting Birds

I've been wrapped up in genealogy work and a three-day conference here last week, but I did do some pages and a special bookplate too. Today, though, I did a new page for the AnnaLift of a photo of Dick's that I don't think I've ever done before. It is of a Semipalmated Plover on its nest in the tundra outside Churchill, Manitoba. That is in the far northern part of the province on Hudson Bay. You may know it as a place people go to see polar bears. We were there in June of 1980.

  1. That is a very pretty bird. I like your choice and placement of your elements, especially the map.

  2. Yes it is a very pretty little bird with its fluffy chest and that spot of orange on its beak which you´ve so cleverly echoed with the orange spatters. How lovely all your nature pages are and how informative.

  4. Pretty and proud bird but the nest doesn't look very comfy or protected except possibly camouflaged by surrounding rocks and pebbles. Love the map and orange splatters!
