I love how she looks at the camera like “hey y’all you seeing this?!”

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Haha yeah. I imagine a bird stumbling upon a new nest box is like walking down the road and finding an empty mansion.

so cute!! ive been watching a nest of barn swallows just outside my house and its been great to see the learn to fly for the first time (:

[@Beryllahawk]

Fascinating to watch the nest build up like that - and really different from the (one) other nest-making video I've seen, which was Black Capped Chickadees.

[@LouisaLee63]

Cool!

Found an abandoned house wren nest eggs 2 eggs were 5 days in the rest were 3 she was a first timer so obviously didn't know what to do but i snatched up the eggs and put them in another house wrens nest that doesn't abandon her eggs ever and she took em im planning on caring for the eggs i put in her nest unless she can do it herself just a note this house wrens eggs are just a day behind!!

[@rerolley]

Cool. One of our wren houses appears to have nestlings. Saw a parent taking away a fecal sac the other day.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Then they definitely have nestlings

[@thebayonneguy]

This was beyond cool! What were the vocalizations at 4:46? REM murmurings?

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Definitely some kind of little chatter. We were always hearing them make little noises

[@snowyowl5556]

Jamalia did great work

[@BadgerlandBirding]

💯

[@winstonthetexasairedale1702]

Guys, any follow up on this? Did the egg hatch? Keep up the great work! Thanks.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

We had a successful brood! Video still in the works but it was awesome!

[@aliefarchaeology7907]

Fantastic news. Looking forward to it. Thanks.

[@joseko2701]

Does it work without a WiFi connection? Do the recordings stay on the card?

[@BirdsRus]

There is a nest of ravens right by my house but I don’t want to put a nest cam there without disturbing them? Any tips

[@RaeInTime]

😮🎉❤🐦❤

[@jackiejones9831]

She made a perfect little nest! Do you think that the found feathers that she laid on top, were meant to say 'something bad has happened here...do not enter'???

[@BadgerlandBirding]

I don’t think so, I think they’re just soft haha

[@pauraque]

Feathers are the most prized nest material because they are so soft

[@jackiejones9831]

@@pauraque but she placed them on top of the nest. Not IN the nest🤔

[@pauraque]

@@jackiejones9831 But like thats because she was sitting on the nest. You couldn't see anything in the nest...

[@richman6912]
