As Spring unfurls, birds are getting down to nest building business once again. It is a busy time of gathering, building, and shaping all manner of materials to form shelters for the next generations of beautiful birds like finches, sparrows, and swallows.
It is remarkable how such simple materials like grass, moss, twigs, and mud produce such varied and beautiful designs. In fact, no two species of birds build their nests in the exact same manner.
At one extreme we see hummingbirds weave spider webs, lichens, moss, and down into exquisite creations to cradle their jellybean sized eggs. On the other extreme, we find massive twig and branch collections of Bald Eagles which can weigh over a ton. In between there is a stunning array of shapes and sizes like the jug-like cliff swallow mud nest hanging from rocks or bridges, the graceful grass and leaf pouches of orioles swaying at the tips of branches, and the miraculous mud and grass garrisons of our neighborhood robins, and many more!
While all these nests are made of common materials, each contains some special ingredients, like spider webs, thistle silk, etc. to hold it all together. As a result, each nest is ideally sized and shaped to protect its fragile cargo and withstand the elements.
