As we watched the nest building on Tuesday afternoon, a Scrub Jay flew to the vine, and entered its shelter. After a few minutes it left. That was enough. The Bushtits returned to the fig and looked excitedly at the vine. They flew away, then repeated these behaviors again and again. After about 30 minutes one few to the bottom of the vine but soon left. They have not been seen again. Better sooner than later, I guess. Ruth Folks-- Yesterday we spotted a pair of Common Bushtits going to our passion vine. Today I watched as they flew back and forth carrying spider webs into the vine. This is a very busy site adjacent to a bird bath and they move back and forth through a fig tree containing a bird house that seems to be the incipient home of a pair of Chestnut-backed Chickadees. Some years we seem to hit the jackpot. Ruth Troetschler _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
