Red Winged Black Bird Update

A few days ago I pleased to see that all four eggs had hatched successfully and from a distance the mother could be seen collecting insects; however, sad news came 5 days later when I went back and the male was not guarding the area any longer. I checked the nest and found it empty and abandoned.



The nest was not disturbed and the grasses supporting the nest were not broken either leading me to believe that either another bird or perhaps a Red Squirrel had found the nestlings.

An art piece will still be done and hopefully some of the other nests will have better results.
