Most Beautiful Bendire's Thrasher Nest

This exquisite nest was built using frayed, blue plastic tarp materials, along with grass, to produce one of the most beautiful nests we have ever seen. This nest is located near an agricultural area where man-made materials are sometimes more plentiful.

The mesquite tree and location where the nest was found. The nest was about 8 feet (2.5 meters) above the ground.
