Can someone identify this bird for me? See shots below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Therese A O'Connor <t...@cornell.edu> Date: Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 3:24 PM Subject: FW: Structural engineer... amazing To: "therese2...@gmail.com" <therese2...@gmail.com> Subject: FW: Structural engineer... amazing remarkable! All God's creatures are blessed! This IS AMAZING –!!! Structural engineer in action Whether you’re a ‘bird person’ or not, this is stunning!!! (and touching too). Not to detract from the sheer magic of it, but in practical terms, how MANY trips would a bird have to make with that tiny little quantity of mud/clay it could carry? (and how far from the nest is the source?) If you take the construction of a “circular bowl” in your stride as instinctive, how does the bird come up with the windbreak/entrance design that shields the eggs/chicks from the elements and at what point in fashioning the bowl do they start to construct it? <thismessage:/mail/u/0/s/?view=att&th=137c8ea0f0fd52dd&attid=0.12&disp=emb&realattid=65a0a717612b53b_0.1&zw&atsh=1> <thismessage:/mail/u/0/s/?view=att&th=137c8ea0f0fd52dd&attid=0.14&disp=emb&realattid=65a0a717612b53b_0.2&zw&atsh=1> -- 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/ --
