I kept an eye on their flight direction. Eventually, after several tries, I spotted the nest in a neighbor's yard:
Bushtits build a long, pendulous nest, primarily of plant materials. (This one has some strips of white, human-made material, too.) You can see the small entrance near the top.
I watched for a little while, but didn't see any Bushtits near the nest. I went back to work, but then heard the Bushtits calling, so went out to check again. They were very busy for a few minutes, so I took a few photos from a distance:
I hope the Bushtits continue building their nest. I really appreciate an occasional backyard wildlife distraction right now!
