Springtime Surprise
I stepped out onto my patio a couple of days ago to water some plants and I noticed straw in the patio chair. The amount of it suggested that it couldn’t have been blown in by the wind. I looked up over the chair and found a bird’s nest over the light fixture.
I carefully stood on the chair and peered inside: no eggs.
This morning, I was going to walk out onto the patio and have a cup of coffee. As I opened the blinds, I glanced up at the nest and found that it no longer had a vacancy!

Over the span of a couple of minutes, I slowly slid the glass door and screen open…a little at a time…so as not to stress out the mother Robin who seemed to have no intention of abandoning her eggs. The picture isn’t great, but I’ll try to get more over the next couple of days.
