Unusual Place for a Nest

My wife and I were eating breakfast on our patio this morning when we noticed something new. There is a bird's nest with 3 little eggs in it. We did not see the mother bird, so I don't know what kind it is, but we are tickled that the eggs are here. It's an unusual place for a nest...right in the middle of a hanging plant on our patio!


We are very fortunate to live in a small town where there are birds everywhere. We wake up in the morning to the beautiful sounds of birds chirping -- what a great symphony to awake to each day!

There are many different types of birds in our yard including, Robins, Blue Jays, Finches, Sparrows, Hummingbirds, and Doves. We have a couple of big Cyprus Trees which are like condominiums for the birds...there are many nests in those trees.

I hope and pray that all the new construction that is going on in our area does not drive the birds away!
