"N" is for NestWhile visiting a friend a few days ago, I noticed that a mama Blue Jay had built a nest on top of the security light in her carport. I don't think I've ever seen a jay's nest before, and I was amazed at the size of the sticks and twigs she used. There's a plastic bag in there, too; for cushioning, perhaps? When I inquired, I learned that the light had been turned off when they discovered the nest building going on. That is a good thing; I imagine that a halogen light would put out enough heat to bake the eggs.

That's really neat! Never seen a bluejay's nest before. You have good friends, turning off that light.
Gee Pat... I have never seen a jay's nest anywhere. That is so unusual to see their nest on top of those flood lights... Unbelievable..
Follow through with us --and let us know if there are some little bluejays in that nest.
Hugs,
Betsy
Reminds me of my hair when got up this morning...
That is a new one for me also. Have lots of Jays,just never seen a nest. Really nice of them to turn off the light.
First time I see a blue jay. It is beautiful bird. I wonder how long she will stay.
What a terrific photo! And a beautiful bird...they are so delightful! You made me smile from ear to ear today!
It's that time! Baby birds everywhere!
Wow, how cool is that. I bet the heat from those lights could cause dry twigs to burn it would for sure melt the plastic bag. Beautiful picture.
Oh, how cute! Good of them to turn off the light, too. Funny how she's used plastic! Swans do that, too.
On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)
Hey, Pat, since you like photos, I'm sending you a link to my favorite photo site. I can't read a word that's printed there, but I sure get some terrific desktops.

Interesting. I would have thought the jays would have been scared off the first time the lights came on, but I guess your friends turned them off before that had a chance to happen? Nice of them.
that was an amazing photo of a funny placed nest:)
