Subject: [centralvalleybirds] bushtit nesting
Yesterday, January 22, we found a completed bushtit nest with an attendant pair in a live oak in the campground just below Monticello Dam in Yolo County.
I am pretty sure this is easily the earliest-in-the-season bushtit nest I have seen locally or anywhere else.  However, the warm afternoons have felt like it was March for weeks now, and redbud shrubs at the same spot were showing their first flowers.  So maybe the birds are just responding to appropriate weather.
