I finally bought a digital camera. I can now take
hundreds of bad photos at very low cost with the hopes
of getting one or two decent ones.
Here are two not so good shots of the nest I described yesterday:

The white material is old pieces of duct tape.
I use a fair amount on my greenhouse.
Is it ok to assume this nest was built by a male? :)
