Title: Moms back again this year!!
Post by: quadrafire on May 02, 2015, 05:37:38 PM: Of the two known nests in our yard only one is being used this season. She's been busy,must have arrived pregnant or we just missed the early courtship this season. I'll try to update this as it progresses as it is in an easily accessible spot.
It's on one of these mountain ash branches. Very camoflaged.
Some Camo company could copy this pattern and we would be invisible

Just love watching her!!!

post up what you got. I think it's cool to see the progression. I was hoping for better but didn't pan out for me

If we hadn't seen her land on that branch one day while we were standing there, we never would have seen it. I still have to look twice to find it and I look at it about daily. She used the same nest last year as well.
