I went down to visit my parents today and they pointed out a nest in their front yard and a large bird...turns out to be a YCNH. They said there were at least 4 of them because they had seen three and could hear others calling. The one pictured must be the female as she remained on the nest the entire time I was there. She never sat on the nest, but was constantly arranging and moving the twigs. The male was in a nearby tree and left when I walked out to look. Before he left, we were standing near the house listening to them chatter back and forth....a really pretty call they have. I only have a couple of the pics posted and will work on more tomorrow.
