The winners of the Funky Nest (http://www.birds.cornell.edu/celebration/challenge/Funky2010/prizewinners/) contest have been announced-click on the photographer's name for the story behind the picture.



I found this via Birdchick (http://www.birdchick.com/wp/)-who also liked the osprey nest

I was just browsing through some of the entries & spotted this one...



99. John D. Meakin, Cheshire, CT

Here is a photo of a Killdeer's nest by the main entry drive to Cheshire, CT, High School. 1400 students go past this site at least twice a day. The school buses must pass within 3 feet of the nest on the way to and from the school's main entrance.

100. John D. Meakin, Cheshire, CT

Here is a Killdeer doing its 'I am wounded' routine by the main entry drive to Cheshire, CT, High School. 1400 students go past this site at least twice a day. The school buses pass within 3 feet of the nest on the way to and from the school's main entrance.

Wow on the Killdeer nest and double wow on the Osprey nest. Amazing creatures birds are. Thanks Ei.
