This nest was under the eaves of a shop, right in the path of shoppers...mom & dad continued flying in and out with almost no concern for the people going in and out of the shop. The 6 chicks looked healthy and close to fledging.

Habitat:

Northern Minnesota - nest was in a small strip shopping mall, surrounded by forest and lakes.
