| rufous hornero makes this very fascinating mud house.
The interior of the house goes in a circle from the entrance through
the hallway to the room/nest, so that the wall of the room/nest is next
to the entrance. They make the nest in any suitable place: telophone
pole, tree, high wall. The nest does not seem to have requirements of
shade or sun because it makes its nest in either. The mud house likely
insulates against both cold and especially heat. |
