When I returned to the yellow warbler nest two days later, on June 25th, it was empty.
But the next day, Mrs. Yellow was sitting on her nest! I found a new “viewing tunnel” to take this photo, from an intersecting trail.
When I visited on June 28th, Mrs. Yellow was doing some more nest sitting. Photo 1 is from the June 23rd and 25th viewing angle; photo 2 is from the other viewing angle, like the June 26th photo.
And on the last day of June…
She looks cosy. And very, very patient.
What good photos and looks like a very cozy nest indeed! π

Thanks, Jill. π I wonder if her cosy nest is her first one or if she has had a bit of practice and has honed her cosy-nest building skills…

thank you but I’m more a photographer than a birder. My friend Adrian Dorst is the expert in birding on the west coast. I’m learning slowly.

Lol! π She always knew I was there. I didn’t stay very long. Just enough time to get a quick photo of what she was up to.

Hello Myriam. Thank you for discovering my blog…it made it possible for me to discover yours. I love what you’re doing! I have another birding friend from Canada who I think you would enjoy getting to know. She is a professional writer and has become a very good birder over several years. She’s also very funny. She’s in Toronto, but I thought you might enjoy checking out her blog: http://coyot.es/birdsandwords/ She always tells great stories usually with herself as the butt of a joke.

Hi Nancy. Thanks for suggesting your friend Julia’s blog. She’s an excellent writer and funny and I can definitely relate to her birding adventures/misadventures! I love your cyanotype work; I hadn’t been aware of that printing method before. I also love how you work with plants… the shapes, colours… and the dreamy and organic way that they are printed into memory. π
