Nest Game

Which of these birds made this nest?

Common Nighthawk (hintNest: Nighthawks do not construct a nest. They lay their eggs on the ground, often in places where there's gravel and sparse vegetation (often on graveled roofs of city buildings!))

Gray Catbird (hintNest: Built in dense thickets, briars, vine tangles, shrubs, low trees, typically well concealed by foliage, 3-10 ft. above ground. Substantial, bulky foundation of twigs, grapevine, leaves, grasses, paper, weed stems; deeply cupped; neatly lined with rootlets.)

Bald Eagle (hintNest: An eyrie, built in fork near crown of giant tree; species of tree not so important as its size, shape, distance from other nesting eagles. Immense pile of large sticks, branches, cornstalks, rubbish; lined with grasses, moss, twigs, sod, weeds.)

Note* There are 16 nests in the game. You are at nest number 1.
