[birdky] Dickcissel nest

While out grubbing thistles early this morning, I noticed a female Dickcissel 
fly up from a spot a few feet ahead of me. I walked up to where she flew from 
and found a nest containing 5 blue eggs securely attached near the bottom of a 
multi-pronged, deformed weed. I kind of wondered if maybe she had nipped the 
buds of the weed to make it sucker out and have more leaves to shade and hide 
her nest.
