nest one is gone.. well it was gone and then someone must have found it on the ground
and shoved it back on the branch... no help. The babies were not ready to leave the
nest yet, they didn't have their wing feathers.
A man talked to my friend Linda and she said he told her he had put a paper plate over
the nest. It was done with scotch tape. I found scotch tape at another nest too.
Anyway, I figured the plate was the reason nest 1 was gone. But a day later I now edit,
and admit that it could have been something else....
The nest is right across from a grassy area where kids play. It's unlikely but possible
that a soccer ball or something was kicked into the nest. It's also possible that some
curious visitor to the park touched it or tried to do something else. OR after what
I saw today, it's possible that a roadrunner got it. See story under photos of nest 3.
