Photos from Pelee Buzz's post 06/14/2026

Thank you for joining our Breeding Bird Walk this morning! Since breeding birds are secretive, I will share some photos of bird nests from PIBO's previous breeding bird surveys. Please see the different shape, materials, and location of the nests.

These photos were taken from long distances away from the nest and croped without staying long time.
