This was in the evening. They were trapped briefly for further observations and released the following morning after I took these pictures. |

There's a nest option in the "animal sign and song" field, which is a better thing to use. I've switched the three observations we had of "nest" here to that field and removed the option.
As a consolation, I've added "chick(s) and egg(s)".
I just added the following options:
Adult(s) with egg(s)
Adult(s) with chick(s)
Adult(s) with juvenile(s)
With groups of multiple birds, this would be better handed with the fields "adult count", "juvenile count", "chick count", etc. If you need to make these, that's fine. Please let us know.
