This is a nest that finally blew out of my big cottonwood tree. It was used last spring by a pair of orioles that I hope will return soon. I've always loved bird nests. I love to see how they are constructed by the various species and what materials they prefer to use. (Okay, I'll admit it...I'm a bird nerd.)

Peering inside this particular nest put a smile on my face. You see that soft, orangey (I created a new word), fluffy looking stuff that the nest is lined with? I know where that came from!


It came from this guy! His name is Baby. I wonder how he would feel about that.
