Thanks YukoChartraw. I watched her building this nest for a few hours, she would bring back pieces of grass and then line and build her nest. Once put in place she would then sit in her nest and test it out. Sometimes she would adjust the piece she brought to the nest and even move it slightly. She was quite deliberate in its design.

Thanks Mayra, and Gerry. I enjoy nature and the outdoors, and love to both watch, study and photograph birds. I am thrilled to be able to share them here, and am thrilled that so many enjoy them as well.

I am not 100% certain but I suspect I have two different birds, Birdlady6000. They were in the same general area in Horicon Marsh. The bird entering the nest was always the same bird. Thanks for the wonderful comment, and I wish I had a better answer to give you.

Thanks MaryEvans2

These are great Willie. Are they all the same Yellow Warbler or different individuals?
