We peeked inside the basket and to our utter delight viewed two newborn birds...
Mom was perched in a tree nearby, whistling loudly that we should get away from her babies! My husband is thinking they are shore birds known locally here as gackles. You'll remember last year we had a similar nest in a pine tree by our front door here.
I am thinking Mom returned but found the basket more convenient and maybe a little less work (I could relate--I am all for less housework myself!)Look at the gorgeous blue of that little egg, isn't nature an amazing array of color and life?

Oh how adorable Tara! I love the color of that egg, so beautiful. And I would love the opportunity to see these little birds grow in such an easy place to see them:>) What a treat!
Tara, How neat! When I saw the blue egg I thought...robins. But I don't know anything about gackles! It will be so fun to watch them grow. xorachel
Fantastic surprise! They look so sweet in the basket.

Golly, that color is just gorgeous and you know I am loving this post Tara. How sweet! I found a darling little nest in the driveway this morning. It had pieces of cracked egg in it so I am sure the nest was up for "rent" again. But how it got in the driveway is anyone's guess since there is not a tree anywhere nearby. Have a super great week. xo Lynn
Oh my goodness, how cool is that! My kids would have been thrilled to see that! I will have to show them your photos.
What a great spot for a nest! Hope you're enjoying the start of SUmmer!
