Bird nest

I saw some dead leaves and twigs on the ground by the garage last week, so I looked up.

Oh.. the birds are making a nest again.

Steve said the birds bought the nest from IKEA, and those were leftover parts when they were done assembling it. 

 Three years ago finches made a nest on the lamp in front of our house.

She laid four eggs.

This nest is too high up for us to see whether there are eggs yet.

 

I managed to sneak close enough to zoom in on the mother sitting on the nest. She is meditating with eyes open.   

When I got too close to the nest, the mother flew away, but kept careful watch on what I was doing. It's a robin.

Hopefully, we will see baby birds poking their heads up soon!
