BALICASSIAO NEST SEEN FROM THE BOTTOM. A cluster of three eggs can be seen outlined against the bright sky in this March 21 photo. As of March 14, the newly completed nest was empty. To have an idea of relative size of the eggs and nest, I carefully compared objects of known size at similar distance from me as the nest. In my best estimate, the diameter of the branch to which the nest is attached is about 20 mm.
