This is an example of the nests we were looking for, only this one isn't invisible. Typically five eggs, incubation starts on the fourth egg for thirteen days , then the altricial nestlings stay in the nest for nine days, single brood, unless the nest is lost to predation or flooding. This picture was taken by Lessia C Marshall-Rosenberger on her research plot.
