This little nest was built out fluffy seeds from some local weed and a few pine needles. Whichever baby birds were the lucky ones to have called this home had the softest 'mattress' I've ever felt in a bird nest.
I so appreciate the creativity that 365 inspires, demands, requires. (The description changes depending on the day...!)
2014 was my first year on 365...
What wonderful thing to find. Beautiful texture in the wooden boards too. I read recently that our North American Goldfinches use the soft fluff from thistles to build their nests. I have seen them perched on the top of the thistles pulling the fluff out, but I’ve never been lucky enough to see a completed nest.
