Spotted this male bringing insects to the nest. I've located the nest but it is hidden very well. I never saw the female this day. Maybe she was in the nest??? I heard no chatter when he disappeared to the nest with insects.





DW, thanks for the Photobucket tip! Let's hope the IMG doesn't show now!! LOL!

Did you notice the stiff winged flight they do when approaching the nest?

Thanks DW!

Sandy, Nice pun! At first I thought he was bringing nesting grass, then, after closer inspection I realized he had insects!

No Ward, I didn't notice stiff winged flight, unfortunatly. I guess I was blinded with awe. When he flew in from the marsh I knew he looked beautiful. He would fly to the top of a small tree then would take a short skip to the next small tree, then a drop to the branch with the nest. Then, he would repeat the same routine. He looked beautiful flying away also. Lifer for me!
