Found a new neighbor in the corn picker this afternoon, underneath the LH picker snout. Must be good and dry in there after all this rain we had. Bad part is, I have a tractor drive this coming saturday, and my neighbor is more than likely going to lose her home. Where should I put the nest? I really feel bad about messing the nest up! Will she adapt if I move her to a pine tree nearby?

Looks like to me she isn't done laying her eggs. Usually three or four. You can try moving it, maybe when she is watching but I doubt she will except it, but you don't know till you try.

Doing residential construction, we are always finding nests that we have to move in various stages of a project.   I would move it and if she doesn't take to them, she'll make a new nest and start all over again.   I always feel bad if it's baby birds, but if it's just eggs, you try the best you can and if it doesn't work out, at least you tried.

Don, If you have one cat within half a mile, not to mention snakes,

squirrels, chipmunks, skunks. etc.; that nest will never last.  Get rid of it.

Looks like Robin's eggs.  If you move the tractor more than a few feet she will make a new one.  They often build a number of nets, you find them laying eggs in the yards and in the fields. I've seen about six this year alone.  I do try to let the birds nest. Had to up-set a Kill-deer nest on monday of last week was disking in her nesting place.  I do leave them if I can, or go round them if baling hay. Move allot the babys to a new areas if cutting hay about 25-30 a year, mostly Red-winged Black birds etc. Boy they eat allot of bugs, watch them trying to get all the worms etc. when disking this year, but they better get the baby going getting time to cut the hay, alfalfa is starting to come back after this wet spring and the Timothy  is in late boot.

You'll just have to let her start over.
 
Teddie, we always went around Kill-deer nests too when we could find them. Today with all the big equipment it's much harder to see them and today's farmers I believe wouldn't take the time. I wonder about the first hay cutting. Every once in a while I have had to stop and move a new born fawn. I even drive a little slower if I've seen deer in the field in the evenings in springtime. Raised a couple fawns even. These huge 30' disc mowers I see out there cutting hay must take out a bunch of fawns.

Lonn, With the john deere discbine they are easy enough for me to see, Raise the head high enough and go righht over them, never toutch em, or go around. Farmer told me first thing was to watch for them because they tear up the head, said it's similar to parking your lawn mower over a big rock and turning the deck on.

I have been crimping hay with a couple of those riding under the gas tank of the Farmall C. I have been wondering ig the momma will claim them. I took three  that were about ready to leave the nest out from under the bailer knotter hood and put them in the crotch of a tree. I see them laying around in the yard dead.  They were not opened up so I have no idea what kiltem
