A few weeks ago, a couple of birds went to work building a nest on our patio cover, just outside our back door. So we enjoyed watching them work for several days, they we noticed one bird hanging out in the nest a lot... I climbed up a ladder and this is what we found:
We went on our Utah vacation (which I will post about eventually), and the birds were spending a ton of time sitting in that next. And a few weeks ago, they all of the sudden were VERY busy, flying off and bringing back worms and bugs! We didn't climb up on the ladder to disturb them, but soon we were able to see 3 little baby birds, all very excited every time the big birds came back with more food. This went on for a while, and we were able to see the babies getting bigger and bigger. And then one day last week, one of the big birds came back to the nest with a worm, and there were no little beaks peaking out. It stood there for a moment, looking a little puzzled, then flew away. The babies must have flown away... I was a little sad for her/him, but it was fun for us to watch this all happen from our kitchen table!
