Local photographer Judi Willis found this Yellow Warbler and its nest this week in the Calgary area.

Here is one of the pair in the nest:

This is a pretty typical spot for a Yellow Warbler nest – usually in a fork of branches in a bush like this willow, and commonly only ten feet off the ground or so. The nest seems large for a Yellow Warbler, with a lot of material hanging down (animal hair?).

Below is the nesting bird again.
