Thank you KathleenMcEachern! These were spotted at Burnaby Lake Park, if the weather clears today, I'll go back to see how their doing :).

Great series! I have tried to find a Bushtit actually making its nest but never have! Lucky you!
Glen Marks
This nest sort of stood out as there aren't too many leaves on our trees yet. Now, saying that, not one person who walked or jogged by could see what I was looking at :). If I hadn't of seen a flicker out of the corner of my eye, I would have missed it as well.

a bush tit's nest is an architectural marvel

I had found a nest long ago and we had a big discussion on it. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6916248
