Grape vine bark is probably the most common material used in the 3rd and final stage of nest building, the soft inner cup. They'd probably appreciate some horse hair.

They were on a mission to obtain nest material. One picked up the actual material (bits of grapevine, I think) while the second gave encouragement. The third was quietly attentive, perhaps in watch-and-learn mode. Think I'll put out some horse hair for them. -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- ----- No virus found in this message.
