Smaller birds have done it in the past. Larger birds have looked and decided it was not a good idea. Until this spring. Robins decided to build a nest on my very old, brittle blueberry twig wreath on the front porch. Now a robin's nest is pretty sturdy, lots of mud, straw, grasses, etc. And heavy. And it made the heart-shaped wreath tilt significantly to the side. But two eggs were deposited....
Standing on the rocking chair near the nest I was able to see these:
I also got a short movie, but I have not been able to upload it successfully. I really do love where I live. These two successfully fledged, and the parents have stopped hollering at me every time I move! I don't miss that!
The phoebes are nesting again! So they are hollering at me on the side porch.
Next up? Yes, it's something quilty again!
Blissful hugs,
Sharon
Sharon!! "Standing on a rocking chair"?!? I think I speak for lots of folks when I say we need you in one piece and not in a neck brace! Get out the footstool or step ladder! Hope you are having a great summer. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are truly blessed with your location that you are able to see so much of the wildlife and that they are comfortable with you.
