I’ve seen Yellow Warblers in the low shrubs of Western New York pastures, the river valleys of Missoula, and the trees of abandoned industrial sites in New York City. Chuk makes his quip about the Black-winged Yellow Bird; my friend Molly insists that everything is a duck, a pigeon, or an owl.

When that isn’t possible, many raptor rehabbers keep tabs on nests and will place an abandon chick in a foster nest. Owls are a little different. They don’t build nests and some like Great Horned Owls take over old hawk or squirrel nests. Birds of prey look cool, but they can’t count. Leave it be.

Since both eggs and chicks are nest-bound and highly vulnerable, while one parent is off in search of food, the nest can be robbed (probably by some owl).
