Early last Spring a mother and father Robin built this beautiful nest in a nook on our front porch. Simple stated, I was elated. I have never had a bird build a nest, right outside my office window. Every day I eagerly watched the birds come and go as they brought back grass, sticks, leaves and even some string to build their nest. Shortly after, we had 3 little blue robins eggs in the nest. We were lucky enough to be able to see the little naked peepers once they were born.
Well, guess what? This season, a pair of sparrows has taken up residence in our nest and there are 2 tiny yellow eggs in it. I can’t wait to see these naked little babies too. Isn’t that fantastic?
How about you lovely readers, have you been lucky enough to have birds nest on or near your home?
I would love to see the pictures, you can upload them to The Sweet Greens Eco Flickr Group.
