Field Notes

Description:

I followed this nest from stick to babies in a series of photographs. The mother was very small and if I can remember correctly brown in color. Eggs were blue-ish color.

Habitat:

Front porch on light fixture.

Notes:

No harm was done to birds, nest or eggs and I made sure never to touch it!

Thank you so much. I knew the second part of adding but just couldn't find the missions I was seeking. :)

You must join the mission first then you can edit your spotting to choose up to 5 missions from the drop-down.

Thank you. How do you find a particular mission? There are so many of them. Is there a search area?
