Many larger birds reuse their (chick hatching) nest over and over again in successive years. Indeed to combat parasites, the Bald Eagle will keep adding a layer atop their nest until it is so large that the wind brings down the tree. At the other extreme, hummingbirds build a new nest each year. Between these sizes, birds might build new or reuse an older nest. The robin builds new (see previous posting, blog.kootenay-lake.ca\/?p=34611), and the Eastern Kingbird reuses.<\/p>\n

I will have watch it for the pending chicks.<\/p>\n
