One of my favorite birding stories involves Brown Thrasher nest building. I was a very, very new birder. My neighbor, Fred, an elder in a Columbia church, was a member of the Columbia Audubon Society, so when I saw BRTHs nest building I invited him over to watch from my deck. As we looked on together, I was perplexed and blurted out, "But there are THREE of them!" Fred hemmed, hawed, and cleared his throat before replying, "They're not monogamous, you know." "Oh," was all I could respond. We watched in silence, fascinated at the cooperative effort.
