Many nests are within about 3.5 m of the ground but have been found as high as 6.5 m.
The female alone incubates; in one study the period was 11 to 15 days and fledging occurred about 14 days after hatch.
Females build the nest, a hanging cup that in one study were woven from strips of yucca leaf lined with grass and seed fluff.
