Observation details
Dick Cabe and Jasmine Kay pointed out a pair building a nest on a parked bulldozer on the edge of the dry pond under renovation - in the rear corner under the roof the cab! Will the wrens continue building the nest when the workers return on Monday and move the dozer? Choice of this nest site may be a sign of desperation following the loss of natural nest sites by removal (within the last week or so) of the dead/dying cottonwoods that surrounded the dry pond. These trees provided numerous nest opportunities under loose bark strips, decay pockets in branch stubs, unused woodpecker cavities, and other natural cavities.
