I just came back from vacation and noticed that with the leaves off the trees and bushes along the highway you could see bird nests. As the leaves thin you might want to look arround your area to see where the birds nest and what kind of situation the nests are in such as near a pond, low or high plant preference etc.

One thing of interest was that the highway department planted miles of the same plants but only in a few places did you see nests. When you saw one nest you would see several. Driving I could not stop to see what the difference was but perhaps someone here could observe and find out.
