Third Hatch of the Season (OC)

Mine

We have this nest on our porch which this family of bird comes back to every single year to re-build, and lay a few eggs. I don't remember any year in which they did it twice. This is the 3rd time we've had baby birdies in the nest this year. I guess the family must be getting smarter - and also hanging around.

Not a very good picture, but it was difficult, since they would hide upon seeing us. And no opportunity for another - I had to rescue one from the garage today, so they're learning to fly already. They'll be gone tomorrow.

This was just 2 months ago..

Baby Birdies (OC)


Generations of these birds have done this exact thing at my house for years. They literally build a nest the same exact way - in the same exact place - every single year. Not only that, it wasn't but just about 2 months ago that 3 babies hatched and finally flew away. This year they used the same nest twice, and this time there are 4.. Amazing!



And here's Momma:
