An eastern wood-pewee sits on a nest in New England, summer 2019. The small orange thing at the edge of the nest is a newborn pewee.
I was happy to find an eastern wood-pewee nest the other day. I found it quite by accident (full story coming next week in For the Birds column.) It’s about 40 feet high and in the Y of a dead branch in an oak tree. Finding a nest is always a thrill and this is the first eastern wood-pewee nest I’ve ever found, making it even more special.
Again, the nest is high up in a shaded area, hence the poor quality of the photos.
What nests do you have in your yard? Drop me a line and let me know.


We found a hermit thrush nest with 4 eggs in it, in Nelson, NH, two weeks ago. Almost stepped on it. The bird flew away and I looked down and it was right next to my foot.
