Wow, I thought our little Phoebes were crammed in their nest - these guys are really packed in there, and so big at that! I'm glad you were able to get a look at them before the leaves made it too difficult to see.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-26836039378538878342009-05-20T07:49:52.578-04:002009-05-20T07:49:52.578-04:00Good work in an interesting blog!

I've found that it makes no real difference. If the wind can blow you around, it can also shake the the tripod, even when you attach weight to the little loop at the bottom of the central shaft. Do I know this from experience?
