During tree trimming, birds nest discovered in thick center of smaller oak tree (kept relatively small on purpose). Pulled it out, not thinking July would have eggs. Oops ..three eggs. Gently removed the pokey leaves that had fallen in during the trimming, and stuck nest back in the tree, albeit a trimmed tree.
Thankfully Towhee went back to incubate, and has been for last day or so. Bird parents must have been "nervous" with the tree trimmers surrounding their nest here...never thought they would nest in there, kind of a low tree, but apparently they like nesting closer to the ground than some. Clever their decision making with the nesting layers.
