Birds nest

We have a birds nest!  This is actually 

the second year for this to happen.  The 

first year the nest was in my wreath on the

front door.  This year, my light.  This year it was

much harder to spy on what was going on in the 

nest, because it was so high up.  I also am kind 

of paranoid.  I never wanted to upset the parents

too much.  One of my favorite things to do though,

was to watch the parents.  They would sit in the 

tree in our front door to watch the nest.  One of them 

was always there.  Last year was very satisfying, as we

watched the birds hatch and get bigger and fly away.

This year not so much.  I did see two baby birds in the 

nest, but the next thing I knew the mommy bird was 

dead in the nest.  She must have fallen in between the 

nest and the lamp post and got stuck and  couldn't get

 out.  And I don't know what happened to the babies.  

There is also one egg left so I am thinking that that egg just 

wasn't going to hatch.  Since the other eggs did.  I don't know

it makes me want to study birds a little more.

The babies, it is amazing how camouflaged they

are.  You really can't see them, but there are two 

there!
