      Thanks, as I'm sure when you were there, you'd see the nests & the birds but not together - this was the only nest where we saw nest and birds together - a productive walk with a Ferruginous Pygmy Owl in the next tree. Posted 2 years ago

        Yep, saw only the nest:

        Bird nest Found in the Pantanal. I thought it was a weaver's nest, but this one seems to be made from some kind of clay. Brazil,Furnarius rufus,Pantanal,Rufous hornero,nest
