Nesting

Cedar Waxwing with one of several shards of plastic bag, presumably for nesting material, gathered over a couple of minutes.

But the stuff is so insubstantial it didn’t stay in the thickly-leaved branches of this Beech. Several pieces floated down as I watched.

Northern Mockingbird nest at eye-level. I discovered one egg in here the day before, the same day I heard and saw a recent Mockingbird fledgling elsewhere in the cemetery.

Lighting strikes! In the very same part of a maple tree that a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nested in last September, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird has lately built a new little nest of lichens and spiderwebs.
