Post subject: | Nest on the Ground |
A bird has been collecting twigs on the ground under a pine tree in our yard. It isn't a very full tree, so the twigs are pretty much in the open. There must be 75 to 100 twigs (plus the occasional dryer lint & string) put there there in the past 2 weeks. It's scattered over about a 2' x 2' area. It's not a rabbit. One family member thinks she's seen a mockingbird there. These twigs are about 10" to 1 1/2' long, up to 1/4" in dia. Does anyone have any ideas? |

Do you ever figure out what bird was working under the tree? Bower birds in australia do the kind of thing you mentioned, but i have not heard of something similar in the U.S. |

No, I haven't, that pile has disintegrated, and a new one has started in a new place. |

Interesting. There are several species that nest on the ground but I do not know of any that do as you describe. I'll ask around. |
