Welcome Spring!

Well, the first sign of Spring for us has been this little momma bird making a nest in the wreath I left up since Christmas. See, the thing is the wreath is not your traditional holiday wreath....it's lime green and blue (Target)!! And it lights up! Super cute! Well, this little momma bird thinks so! I just wish I could have gotten the picture clearer. I had to take it with the front door closed and through the little windows at the top of the door standing on a chair quiet as a mouse! Everytime someone opens the front door, or comes up the walk, she flies out in a panic and almost hits the person. Poor momma bird!

Here is a picture of the wreath with the nest and eggs. The eggs are sky blue. I mean they don't look real. No, I didn't put easter candy in a fake nest. This is momma bird's nest. I opened the door to take the picture and she flew away......

...to this tree! It is smack dab in the front of the house. She is the one on the high branches. And, I don't know if that is dad bird, but he is always with her and sits in the tree with her. Sometimes the other bird (maybe dad?) sits inside the wreath with her beside the nest. Is that really customary for birds? I had no idea the dad bird stuck around! Maybe I'm wrong! But, I sure thought it was weird to see that bird sitting next to her in the wreath.

Anyways, having her on the front porch has curtailed my Spring wreath, etc. It has made for some excitement around here, even with my teen boys!! They keep an eye on her too! I'll keep you posted and hopefully be able to get a picture of the baby birds! HAPPY SPRING everyone!!
