Field Notes

Description:

I first spotted this couple a few weeks back in this spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17745444

I have been aware of them nesting in my backyard since then, but I finally managed to get another picture of them and could actually see one of them on the nest!

Note sure why it is, but this particular bird always seems to look a bit goofy and disheveled!
