Right outside our dinning room window is the third family of Pee wees nesting. Three years or so ago we had 5 pee wees in a nest and all survived. In early Feb 2010 a second nest was started, but it rained part way through the construction and the nest was damaged. Maybe the same pee wees have rebuilt the nest they are sitting on. Amazing to watch them build and line the nest with mud, smooth it out and let it dry. Then come back and lay the eggs. Both mum and dad build the nest, sit on the eggs and later feed the young. When it rains one will sit with its wings spread to cover the nest and contents.
So we'll keep you posted with the nesting in progress.
