    I think it is the 6th picture you can see the nesting material in her beak.

    When she has something in her beak, she sometimes cannot make it through the little opening of the house so she goes back and tries to fly in again and she keeps this up until she can get it in through the door.

    Looks like a fun toy! Is your camera motion activated??? My friends put one out in their woods and have had bears come right up to the lens! Pretty neat!!!

    What an interesting sequence of fotos, Sherry. That camera does good. I still find it quite exciting that you have a nesting pair there....you lucky one!

    Yes the camera is motion activated. I didn't put the laser on for these photos. The laser concentrates on the area it is pointing at. Sometimes if a bird flys through fast you have a blank photo unless you have another bird in view..I am still learning on this..I like it that I can view them on the television too...Sherry
