In October of 2011 I found a little nest with abandoned eggs in it – built right into the wreath on my front door!  Well, now another bird family just built a nest in the same spot!

This time we watched the birds build the nest and now we watch them fly away every time we open the front door.  Sometimes I use the side door just so I won’t disturb them.  But most the time I forget – plus it’s the most convenient door to our cars.

I’m just waiting for the bird to fly IN to our house one of these days.  There’s been a couple of times that I open the door and she’s still sitting in the nest.  It takes her a minute to figure out what’s going on and then she flies to the nearest tree.  

I just hope we don’t disturb them too much so they will stay with their eggs until their little babies are hatched!

Here are pics of our latest front door nest in the wreath – can you see birdie sitting on her eggs in the 2nd pic?

We also recently had a nest in the back of our house – under the overhang.  That’s been another popular spot with the birds too.  This last nest however, after the babies hatched – Joe saw a big crow swoop in and knock the nest down.  Jerk!  I just hope the babies were ok.  Boo for the big bad crows!

Here’s a little footage I grabbed of the baby in back.  Before the big mean crow swooped in.
