Yesterday I went jogging in Esquimalt and I saw two nests and a dead porpoise. I think the nests must be built by bushtits. Today I went back to photograph them and study them more. I noticed that they were made of a particular fuzz that looked like cottonwood pollen, which is strange because it's too early for cottonwood pollen. This fuzz was everywhere, stuck to the trees etc. I followed the trail of fuzz into a wooded area and found some people camping there. I realized that the fuzz was coming from an old sleeping bag that had been discarded by these people. Some people were still there sleeping so I did not go closer to get a picture. I did take some fuzz so I could begin building a bushtit's nest though.
