While we were out at Nisqually yesterday, Rachel and I came up with a few
questions. Maybe some of you would have the answers or good sources to find
the answers.

1. Is it the male Marsh Wren that builds the nest? Is this part of
bringing in the potential mate? Will they build more than one?

2. Do female Bitterns vocalize, and would the two genders call back and
forth to one another?

3. Do male Hummingbirds mate with several different females in a season? Do
thay have anything to do with nest site selection?

Thanks,
