Also Born To Be Wild
A pair of house sparrows found some prime nesting real estate - safe from predators, available (or made available by kicking someone else out), and gosh darn pretty. It even comes with a handy landing pad for waiting one's turn.
I think it's not quite that bad, Steve. It's a commercial building (you can see its north side behind the motorcycles below), so this is probably the lavatory fan vent alongside the septic vent (the perch).
Nice capture. We had them try to nest in our kitchen exhaust vent but luckily I caught them before they started to build. I covered the vent with a piece of chicken wire to keep them out.
Nice shot! You have done a good observation.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like modern art. These birds like minimalist architecture, it seems.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a dryer vent. If anyone ever washes their clothes, these guys are in for a rude surprise

ReplyDeleteNeat! I agree with Steve though, and I hope it isn't a dryer vent!
ReplyDeleteNice capture.

It's a really nice capture (I admit to have enlarged the photo because I wasn't able to understand...)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :)
