--000000000000f2e65c056e64291c Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable As in most recent years, we have had at least one pair of Baltimore orioles nest building and feeding young in the weeping willow=E2=80=98s around our = pond. This year there is a dead male that seems to be attached in someway or hanging from the bottom of the nest. It has now been present for over a week and does not appear to be rotting or predated . I suspect it got caught up in a tangle or might even have been attacked by another male or something. It is too high and far out on a limb to retrieve it. Meanwhile a female is visiting the top of the nest every 10 to 15 minutes or so and I have observed her carrying away a faecal sac. There is at least one other male that flies around our property, calling and singing. --=20 Richard stern sternrichard@gmail.com Sent from Gmail Mobile On my iPhone --000000000000f2e65c056e64291c Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"auto"><br></div><div dir=3D"auto"><table id=3D"spp-list" class= =3D"d-spp" style=3D"border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px;height:773.= 375px;zoom:1;vertical-align:top;overflow:visible;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-f= amily:"Helvetica Neue",arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background= -color:rgb(244,244,244)"><tbody><tr class=3D"spp-entry"><td style=3D"margin= :0px;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;line-height:1.3em;vertical-align:top;height= :187.484375px;border-width:2px 0px 0px;border-top-style:solid;border-top-co= lor:rgb(255,255,255)"><div class=3D"se-hd" style=3D"margin:0px;padding:0px"= ><br></div><p class=3D"obs-comments" style=3D"margin:0.3em 0px 0px;padding:= 0px;line-height:1.3em">As in most recent years, we have had at least one pa= ir of Baltimore orioles nest building and feeding young in the weeping will= ow=E2=80=98s around our pond.
