Another first for me this week is when I found a verdin nest. It took me about an hour but I finnaly got a shot of a Verdin in the nest. Here are a few of of a male (i think) gathering nesting materials and building the nest.

Never seen one of these before. It seem like the wrong time of year for nesting, even in Nevada. The little spider under his foot probably thinks the same thing. :)

What a pretty bird! Nice set of shots, and the in-the-nest shot is terrific.
