Nina: What a wonderful series of photos you made of the progression of a
cerulean warbler nesting pair. Thanks so much for sharing this with us all.

Not to overburden the list with personal high-notes, I hope it's both
appropriate and appreciated to post a link to a series of photos I was able
to take over the period of 5 weeks spanning May/June. It documents a pair
of cerulean warblers throughout their nest-building, feeding and fledging
of young. It is the only cerulean nest I have ever had the privilege of
seeing, and knowing the plight of this fastest-declining warbler, might be
the single experience of my lifetime. The nest was neither predated nor
parasitized, and hung tight through the worst of windy storms to ravage the
Clear Creek corridor (Hocking County). And although the conditions for
photographs deteriorated with leafout, you can appreciate the siting of the
nest and its protection from the elements. Their successful nest, for those
interested, is recorded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-x5fd1Eh7M
