Observation details
Open cup mud nest is 12 feet high on rafters inside a garage-type carport, about 15 feet deep inside the garage. There are some items on the floor of this garage, making me think it is not used for car parking at this time. Only one nest is visible but there seem to be more than two birds associated with it, and at least 8 birds mobbed us when we were nearby. So perhaps other nests are in the area. Also saw one of the birds do a display flight, singing a clicking gurgling type of song while fluttering wings in flight. Really neat experience
