I'm going to have to retract those nest ID sites I sent... all too general or not useful.

There does exist (I think) a birding book with species specific info on nests.

I collected these four nests from around my house one autumn. You can see how much variation there is...

Not so good pics using my phone/hard to see (Sorry!) but Very interesting that there are (8) bird nests in such Close proximity of one another in these trees ~ Wonder if it's a Family of birds, sticking close together as Autumn ebbs down & Winter's right around the corner?? Page 2 has the last pic & there are 3 nests just a branch or 2 apart from one another. Now that's what I call #Togetherness ❣

Tiny life growing in my parents' window. A Bulbul bird (native to India) has built a nest and is raising her baby birds in my mother's Hibiscus 🌺 🐣❤️

Im Brutkasten, den ich im Winter mit den Kids gebaut habe, wohnt jetzt ein fleissiges Blaumeisen-Paar. 🐦🐦
