How cool, I love these little birds. We have them too however I have never looked for their nests. We have them both around our house and at the park near our house.

I know exactly what you mean, Cathy. THis reminds me of a bittersweet moment I had several years ago. We had a redtailed hawk nesting across from the house. It was fascinating getting to watch the youngsters grow into young adults. Once I was poking around at the base of the tree and came across a freshly killed shorebird. It had puncture wounds but was not even partially eaten. I am assuming the adults brought it to the nest, but why it was never consumed will remain a mystery. I had absolutely no clue what it was, but after doing a bit of some reading I was guessing it to be a golden plover. I did the ziploc freezer bag thing and took it to a local Audubon member locally and he pretty well agreed on the id. These birds only come through on migration...you'd normally never see them. SO here was one lying dead under a hawk nest in a hickory tree in the middle of the woods. Maybe it was at the reclaimed mine lakes noth or west of us and got picked off by the redtail. Take advantage of the opportunities as they present themselves I guess.

Isn't it wonderful when you find the source of the song! And how lucky that you had a camera ready. Congratulations on capturing images of that beautiful bird.

This seemed strange to me and I'd love to have your expert opinion. I saw a male cardinal mating with a yellow warbler on my fence the other day. Is that normal for cardinals?

Gracious! Amazing photos; but how did you get high enough to see in one of their nests?

Thank you all!
They nest low, around 4 to 5 feet off the ground, this was about 4 foot, a small poplar tree which I jobbed down a couple of years ago to that level and left a perfect fork for them to build a nest on.
