Hi,
Yes, Barb told me that the birds were going up above. I've been trying to
watch and I did see all the busy work carrying twigs up and such. I thought
I saw a grackle....but didn't think they would be building a nest like the
doves.... I do have a little bird white wash on the railings but nothing
too bad. I've stood outside and looked up trying to see where they are
going. Is 601 vacant? I wonder if they know what's going on.
