Stick with those
nests

Stewardship Council.
Forested areas are critical habitat
to many species of wildlife, providing
food, shelter.and other essential needs
such as nesting sites.
Stick nests (nests made of sticks)
are one of the most evident types of
nests found in our local woodlots.
Their features can vary considerably,
depending on the species that has
constructed them.
Stick nests found in groups or
colonies are almost certainly built by
the great blue heron. Individual
nests are more likely those of a bird
of prey like hawks and owls.
Characteristics of the nest vary
considerably, depending on the
species of bird that has constructed it.
Features such as height within the
tree, distance from the woodlot edge,
shape, size and type of nesting
material can all help to identify the
species occupying the nest. Some
species even decorate their nest with
greenery such as conifer twigs.
The booklet Forest Raptors &
Their Nests in Central Ontario is a
handy guide for anyone interested in
learning how to identify stick nests.
It also contains considerable
information about raptors in general
as well as details on the various
species and recommended guidelines
for protecting the nests during
forestry activities. It can be
purchased for $12.50 from the
Landowner Resource Centre
