Here is a picture of a bird's nest that I recently found on my morning walk. It interested me for two reasons: the nest was made almost completely of twigs from the same type of tree. The mother bird found her building material and she never looked back. The other reason is the 'workmanship'. The twigs are woven together with a precision that would be challenging for me and my ten fingers. The 'workman' presumably was restricted to a beak and a small number of digits. Can birds coordinate the labor of their beak and their feet? I wonder.

Getting the nest was easy. The mother was away and there were only two little eggs in the nest. After tossing them aside, the nest was mine!

JUST KIDDING! The nest was empty and had fallen to the ground. Otherwise I never would have touched it.
