Bird brooded nestlings immediately before hopping up to rim of nest.
Observation details
One bird perched on wire above nest. Nest was constructed at the intersection of the electrical pole and wire attachment. Later, another bird flew in and perched on rim of nest. That bird later caught an insect, flew to wire, beat the insect on wire, concealed it in beak, and took it back to nest to feed nestlings. No nestlings visible over rim. She then crouched down in nest to brood but left nest when mate came in with food. Later, one perched on wire, flew down and caught a bug, flew back to wire, beat insect against wire, concealed it in beak and returned to nest to feed nestlings. Unknown clutch size, but at least one nestling.
