We found a nest of eggs and a mama bird in one of our bushes a couple of weeks ago. Then one day, one of the eggs hatched!
We checked back every day, but no other eggs ever hatched. Mama Bird always saw us coming, gave us the briefest little bit of a stink-eye, then hopped out of the nest to afford us a little photo opportunity. Here she is in the photo below:
I checked back on baby bird every day or so…would you like to watch him grow?
Eyes open!
Big Boy Feathers!
Today we checked on him and found this…
We think our baby bird has become a teenager and Flown the Coop, leaving behind a sad Mama Bird with a nasty case of Empty Nest Syndrome. At least that’s what I hope happened. The mystery is the fact that there are only two eggs in there. What happened to the others?
We will miss our newest little neighbor as he tests his wings, catches his first worm, and aims his first poop on my head (I fear he’ll remember me as the annoying lady who kept scaring his mama away).
Good Luck, Teenager Bird!

Awwww... You're such a better host that I am. I'm always ripping their nests out of my shutters so they stop crapping on my chairs. Incredible photos.
