May 2008 - Birds Nest

We have this sweet little birds nest that's nested in our wreath hanging on our door. We have birds that have come three years in a row and nested here in our topiaries. Mike thinks it's the same bird for the past three years but who knows!? I don't know what it is about our house but the birds like to nest. It's really fun for the kids and they love to pull up a chair to check out the nest and the baby birds. It's been neat to follow their path from nest to egg to hatching and now the babies have grown so fast. The only gross thing is they have pooped all over their nest and a little on our door. Aagh! That'll have to be cleaned promptly when they're gone, but until then we're stuck with it. They're getting ready to fly the nest soon so we had to grab these quick pictures before our 2008 nesting stage is over with. We hope they come again next year.
