Observation details

Continuing adult bird standing asleep at a nest. Not associating with any other birds, although half a dozen BCNH were also present in the same tree. Later woke up and still just stood there, with no birds approaching it. Potentially first known nesting attempt for this species in Orange County, assuming it has a mate. I'd say this is an old nest, based on the amount of whitewash on it already.
