As my yellowwood tree in NE DC began losing its foliage this fall, I was surprised and happy to notice a bird nest high in the branches. I have bird feeders and bird baths in my yard, so i regularly have a variety of birds in my yard and in all my trees throughout spring and summer. As a result i did not notice activity that might have specifically indicated nesting high up in the tree. The yellowwood tree with the nest was planted 14 years ago. It is very healthy and has a trunk size of approximately 28” and is shorter in height than my two story home. The tree is about 25’ from the south side of my east-facing house. I have a large side yard, and that is where the birdbath, feeders and yellowed tree are located. Birds I see regularly during the nesting season include sparrows, grackles, doves, starlings, wrens, snowy woodpeckers, nuthatches, bluejays, red bellied woodpeckers, american goldfinches, robins, house finches, cardinals, tufted titmouse, mockingbird, hairy woodpecker, brown headed cowbird, pine siskin, hummingbirds, and, unfortunately, the last two years, crows. I have included two zoomed in photos of the nest taken from the ground as well as a close up photo of the tree.
