Blackbird nesting

in nature •  7 years ago 


We went to summer place on Friday 8.6.2018. One idea was to move some last summer made fire wood to have room for new ones to dry. But then we noticed a small surprise. Some bird had made a decision to nest on top of one pile.

There was no bird to be seen, so we made a decision to halt moving those woods and place a trail camera there to see what bird it is, and is it still going to use that nest or had abandoned it.

It was still in use and it turned out to be a blackbirds nest. So there became a few weeks delay on the wood project.

8.6 We noticed the nest
10.6 There was the first out oh three eggs
24.6 There was 2 chicks and 1 egg
2.7 There was 3 chicks that were growing fast
6.7 Was last day birds were at nest
7.7 Empty nest was left behind

Nest was in place were you could see when bird left it, so at that time you could quickly take some pictures or put trail camera in place. So there was not more disturbing of nesting making this one than there would be if I had not made this one. And that also is reason there is not pictures or videos on every day of nesting.

Luckily everything went well and we are having a dry summer here, so there was no problem leaving woods to dry on other place.
