Warbler Guy, now that the leaves are starting to fall in my northern locale, I found a couple of warbler nests. Hence, is there a newer bird nest field guide than the great, yet limited Hal Harrison East & West Coast bird nest books?A Guide to the Nests, Eggs, and Nestlings of N. American Birds. Paul J. Baicich & Colin J.O. Harrison, Academic Press, 1997, 2nd edition

Sherry, you are in luck, given the following recent 2011 publication Nests: Fifty Nests and the Birds That Built Them (Chronicle Books). In it, Sharon Beals features amazing photos of USA bird species, including the one shown here: Golden-winged Warbler (which, by the way, is a Watch List* species according to the National Audubon Society, meaning it's numbers appear to be decreasing in portions of its breeding range, per census figures).

So, start your Nest Search Engines, people (and Sherry), as this species would truly be a jewel to find.....and I am lucky to note that I saw one migrating Golden-winged recently in Wisconsin
during a birding trip to find warblers and other avian migrants.

Meanwhile, the Harrison guides round out my nest library of, along with A Guide to the Nests, Eggs, and Nestlings of N. American Birds (Paul J. Baicich & Colin J.O. Harrison, Academic Press, 1997, 2^nd edition)
