Our guests












Last Wednesday I noticed that there was a bird that kept flying around our front porch. So I checked our vine and found a nest with 3 eggs. Thursday there were 4 eggs, Friday there were 6 and today there are 7 eggs. Momma won't let me take a picture of her. We can look at her, but as soon as the camera comes out, she takes off. Some mom....she abandons her 7 unborn children every time there is a technological threat? She is pretty tiny, I wonder how long it takes for those eggs to develop, I can't imagine her carrying them around all at once. I'll keep you updated and post pictures of the babies, hopefully they make it, because I don't want to post any pictures of dead birds on the internet.

So cute. We have a nest with 6 eggs in our BBQ. They haven't hatched yet and it has been awhile. We think those eggs have been cooked because it gets so hot in there! We hope you have better luck with yours.

ahhhh...I should look around our house. Everytime we go out the front door we have this bird that dives at our head. And flaps its wings all around us. It's kinda scary reminds me of that old horror show with all the killer birds in it! Maybe it's just a mom protecting her babbies. I'm totally going to go look around.
