These two have nested on a floodlight next to my home-office window for the last three years. Both apparently forage for nesting material and food, but while his partner is building the nest, he constantly brings her nesting material and earthworms or grubs. When laying starts the mother rarely leaves the nest and the father double his food-gathering efforts. After the bright-blue eggs hatch, both parents look after the nestlings. However, after they feather, the male increases time spent tending them, I expect so the female can re-build her strength for the next laying \u2013 at least two times over a Minnesota summer. What an inspirational partnership.<\/em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Ken Brown<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div id=\"attachment_4262\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call for Stories, Poems and Art Have you had an interaction or made a connection with a living creature\/plant that touched you?
