I posted a few photos of the Bexley Yellow-Crowns at the link below. I watched one of the pairs attempting to replace the nest that was lost from the windstorms. The male would go off and break off a tree branch and bring it to the female. She would attempt to place the branches to get the base started but they would continuously fall to the ground. There were so many branches on the street that the local residents are going to need a wood chipper. I felt sorry for them as this went on and on. You wanted to get a cherry picker up there to help them get started. On one of the photos I caught was the female dropping branch #178 (not exaggerating). http://bsquaredphotos.smugmug.com/Birds/764351 Regards, Bob Baran Hilliard, Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
