homes & habitats

homes and habitats
they are one in the same, really. but there are some that fall traditionally into one or the other: a city house or a farm, a birdhouse or a stream. life in all of them; inspire your own home or your own habitat with the places we have found.
NESTING INSTINCT

story and photographs by rinne allen

the bare branches of winter reveal the hidden-world habitat of birds. true do-it-yourselfers, they scavenge strands of blue plastic and weave them like ribbons.
they unfurl a cigarette butt into a tuft of down; wood shavings left from a woodworker's project, moss from a stream, and straw from the garden all are transformed into insulation, a comfortable pillow, or the foundation upon which they will build their home. thank you to paige for sharing her nest with us - all the others were discovered by r.wooders while on walks.
