The House (or Nest ) on River Birch Drive

We have a mommy bird who visits our Weeping Cherry tree out front every spring and lays pretty blue eggs. I haven't seen such a prettier blue - the eggs are just gorgeous. I can watch mommy bird from our kitchen and she keeps a very good eye on her eggs from atop our roof or our neighbor's roof across the street. If she senses danger for her eggs, she swopes down in a hurry. We have seen her do it several times. We were lucky to snap these fews pictures.


Happy Birthday Baby Birdies!! We are not sure how many babies there are, but they have gotten big in a hurry. It won't be long before we see them under the tree, exploring this world we live in. Last year we were able to see the mommy teach one of the babies to fly.

It was truly amazing.

Oh, that blue is the prettiest! How fun to get to watch them from the safety of you kitchen! ha ha! We had some in the kids' playset, and I felt like I needed a helmet when I went to look at it!
