Field Notes

Description:

The nest was built mainly of large sticks. It was safely hedged in a three-edged "fork" of a Silk Cotton Tree. Bits of rags were also used, which later Squirrels and common myna cannibalized much to the displeasure of the Kite pair.

Notes:

The nest was re-used. I observed it for three years...in the third year a chick was raised to adulthood.
