Make notes on the content of below paragraph in any format and give a suitable title. 3 Birds build an enormous variety of nest, ranging from a simple depression in the ground to elaborate structures suspended from tree branches. Grebes build their nest on lakes and ponds. They make the nest with weeds and sticks so that those can float on water. Weaver bird use their bill to weave enclosed nests of grass that hang from tree branches. ‘Barn swallows’ pellets of mud to construct nests on the walls of cliffs, cave and farm buildings. Tailor bird sew leaves together to form a nest on branches in garden and forest edges. They use their bill as a needle and natural fibers as threads. Woodpeckers make holes in tree trunk for their nest. These holes have no nesting material apart from some wood chips produced during the evacuation. Killdeer’s nest is a shallow depression on bare ground. They sometimes line it with gravel or twigs.

Explanation:
Pied-billed Grebe
Podilymbus podiceps
{uncaptioned}
It makes little difference to this bird whether you call him “Water-witch, Hell-diver, Dabchick or Pied-billed Grebe,” for these are only a few of the names by which he is known. His only concern is finding a pond, lake or other water, well supplied with crayfish, minnows or insects on which he feeds. Leeches are a favorite morsel.
The short, thick bill of this grebe is distinctive, even in winter when the black encircling band from which it gets its name, is missing. General appearance is brown, being brownish-black above, lighter brown and white below. On water the short tail usually is carried high enough to show the white under-tail coverts.
This grebe is perfectly adjusted to water and can swim, dive or lower his body in water just as far as desired with little effort, often showing only bill and eyes above the surface. This protects him from predators or hunters who might mistake him for a duck. Even his nest is a floating structure so placed that he can gain the safety of his natural element.
Wet pavements are hazardous for they resemble water and if the Pied-billed Grebe lands there, he is helpless. His legs are placed too far back on his body for walking and he finds it difficult to regain the air except by skittering over water.
He sinks or dives
Without a care,
For water hides
His daily fare.
Great Blue Heron
Ardea herodias
{uncaptioned}
Altho protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty, this heron often finds himself the target for thoughtless hunters. Not that he would make a tasty dish, but any bird which stands 4 feet high with a wing spread of almost 70 inches is in constant danger. His favorite feeding grounds are wet meadows or pastures, ponds, lakes or streams. Most of his food consists of rough fish which he catches expertly, either standing patiently in shallow water until a fish appears, or walking slowly along the edge of some shallow pond until he discovers his prey. Snakes, frogs, insects, mice, eels, or even small birds are not safe from a hungry heron.
Unlike cranes, which fly with necks outstretched, herons fold their necks back as if resting their heads on their shoulders. Their flight is a slow, measured beat which carries them to their destination. These birds seem to prefer tops of tall trees, such as sycamores or cottonwoods, either in isolated locations or on islands. Favorite sites are used year after year and nests often cover as much as 3 feet in space and are placed well out on limbs. A colony of Great Blue Herons is frequently joined by herons of other species. Such a colony of fish-eating birds is both noisy and odorous.
If, when he flies
He folds his neck,
The heron is
The bird to check.
