Last Friday, I caught Dora cutting sticks from a tree near the 7th Street playground.

Here she is at the nest on Saturday. You can see the layer of sticks on top of the base of leaves.

On Sunday, Christo was very industrious, taking sticks from several different trees and spending a lot of time arranging them in the nest.

Last week's snow enabled me to see fallen sticks on the ground beneath the nest.

I love seeing these birds create something. They have a plan and are diligently carrying it out. Stay tuned...
