Black-Headed Grosbeak Male with Nesting Material
In 1947, Weston said: “The male usually follows her while she is gathering nesting material and he may accompany her to the general vicinity of the nest; however, I have never seen a male carry nesting material nor in any way aid in the actual construction of the nest.” Well, Mr. Weston – boom shakalaka!
