How do I keep sparrows from nesting?

This is a tricky question to answer. Sparrows are hard to get rid of. But you can try these simple to do's. First, try putting reflecting ribbons on the nest or where the birds are nesting. This ribbon or tape can easily be bought at the 99 cents store and you can see your reflection in it. Second, you can touch the nest. Birds will not come to a nest that has the human scent on it. Third, if all of these ideas haven't worked than get a little or big brother or strong male that isn't afraid to shoot the sparrows when they are at there nest. Good luck!! if none of these work remember the sparrows are just trying to go green! tee hee :0)

What kind of wild birds lay small pink eggs?

I am not sure where you live, I live in central Florida, and I stumbled across a nest in my yard, looked up white and pink speckled eggs, and came across your question. Unfortunately I had no luck with my search for white and pink. However, because I like wildlife (as you probably do, too, or you wouldn't be curious about the layer of the eggs) I looked up common birds to my area. Upon looking up chickadee eggs, in an images link, the nests galore teaming with little pinkish speckled looking eggs popped up. However, the house wren also has a speckled egg, so it could be either. There are a variety of chickadees, we have the brown ones all over our land, and just so happens that there might be more in the coming month if this nest and its little inhabitants make it. Hope this helps. I found my information at www.sialis.org. They have a bunch of different photos and information about common birds.

Why is the Bachmans Warbler beoming extinct?

Really great question. No one can say for sure, because it is certainly not because of the usual reasons. There is still plenty of forest edge canebrakes for nesting, and they are not hunted. It never was a common species, and began it's decline in the thirties. Some suggest that the bird was driven to near extinction by competition with more common species like the Prothonotary warbler, that shares it's habitat, but this makes no sense, because the birds feeding methods were quite different. The Bachman's warbler nests and feeds close to the ground, while other warblers are birds of the treetops. They have not been seen in the wild in many years, until a wintering female was videotaped in Cuba in 2007. The species numbers must be extremely small, and all efforts should be made to protect the canebrakes of the southern swamps where they reside. To be looked for in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
