got a long way to go. it felt good just to be playing football. i felt like i haven't played football in so long. just a month ago, we didn't know if we were playing football. just being a redskin added something extra on top of it. >> tim hightower keeping it medium. this was yesterday at practice looking good with john beck. the groin looks fine. 11 on 11 drills, he is participating fully. he is still listed as the number two quarterback behind number 8, rex grossman. grossman, again, this is the third year he is in this offense and maybe that is why he is picking i'mle bit quicker this

showers across pennsylvania, the new york city area into new york state, much of new england. this associated with an area of low pressure that is continuing to pull away from the united states but still those langerring rains and some breezy conditions as well infiltrating the mid-atlantic region. now, with the way these showers are moving, we can't rule out a shower or two developing primarily north of the washington area later on today. some of you might see it. i think most of you will not. it will be dry. here is your surface map. there is that low. here comes high pressure. that will

heads together to answer your most pressing questions, weather-related or otherwise. tucker is not here but i'll handle this one. today's question comes from donna schuster of arlington, virginia. she writes, had a bird's nest outside my window and i was able to watch the baby birds grow up and fly away. after that, the nest was abandoned. do birds always abandon their nests? will they ever reuse it? excellent question y that is i good question. >> i'm going for say it is -- to say it is one and done. >> i think they hike it built to their open space figure cases. >> thrls >> unless there are some quarter birds out there that like to take advantage it was. >> it all depends on the bird. some birds, one and done. some bird will come back and some birds, they will find an abandoned nest and say, look at this place, honey. >> saves me some works. >> many birds -- can they expand? >> they will come back but they'll alter the nest, they'llup date t. >> they'll do a little remodeling. >> exactly. so it depends on the species. some birds return to the same general nest site every year but not necessarily the same nest. for example, robins do that. same general area, man even the same tree. not necessarily the same nest. most perching birds only use a nest once, steve, as you said, although some song birds will use the same nest for successive broods during a single season. so that is -- >> so they keep it for the year. >> then they'll come back the next year and build something new. many bird including house wrens and blue birds will return to the same nest but will build on top of that old nest or they will alter it, adding a foyer or a master bedroom suite. >> some kind addition. >> they will alter it in some way. >> it depends on how much hgtv they're watching. >> we're joking. hawk, oils and eagles will usually use the same nest over and over again. >> those are some pretty extravagant nests. >> when those nests are abandoned, you will find other bird will sometimes come in. it is just like when woodpeckers peck out a hole in a tree, in a hollow tree or something, once they move organization other birds will use the same pace. >> that is a lot of work. >> i'm surprised they don't have i homeowners association, just start building some condos. >> they may. we just aren't aware it was. >> they're a lot like us. more than we realized. >> we have some similarities. >> yes, we do. >> it does depend on the species. if i missed one thing, please don't write to me. >> we know birds do not watch tv. >> most do not. >> or build master baths. >> if you see that, take a picture. >> this is michael jackson, rockin' robin. we have not had a video question for a while. so please, if you've got a question or your youngster has one be videotape it, send
