Three years ago, I saw Brown Thrashers building a nest in a Shasta Viburnum bush, but then they abandoned it, probably because that’s a kinda busy part of the yard.
The last 2 years, they’ve nested in a group of 12 ninebark bushes in a quieter part of the yard.
This year, a pair was visiting the Shasta Viburnum again. Turns out this year there are 2 completed nests, no eggs yet, one in both places approx 4-5 ft off the ground.
We’ll see what develops!
Not much warbler activity yet, but today we had 3 male and 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at the feeders.
