What’s more fun than watching birds in your own backyard? Well, watching them nest in your own backyard. This spring I have been fortunate to find three nests in my yard, and that’s without trying too hard. The newest breeders in my yard are the Bushtits, who just recently started building their strange upside-down gourd-like nest. You can see some pictures of these tiny nest builders, and learn more about their natural history in the new species profile on Bushtits.
