Love Nest

Sight and Sound Happy Mother's Day! Here's a little addendum (and some quick snaps) to my photo from yesterday of the little bird nest since so many of you were concerned for its safety. As you can see it is pretty well hidden between the barn and the water faucet and not just out in the open like it looked in my photo. Today I went out to make sure Momma "Tap Tap" was doing all right after I disturbed her yesterday and, lo and behold, 3 of her babies have hatched! What a great Mother's Day surprise. :) I will pair this with a song that was released, this very weekend, way back in 1973 by George Harrison. Thanks, Mick, for that info and for the suggestion. :) From the album "Living in the Material World" Give Me Love Give Me Love (p.s. Our cats don't go outside their little fenced in area and can't get to the nest so no worries you guys! :)

Nest Eggs

TSC Sight and Sound May 7th - "Take a picture of what you are doing on this day." On this day I went exploring and found a little bird's nest filled with eggs. It belongs to a Dark Eyed Junco We have many of these little birds here year round. We call them "Tap Taps" because they come to the upstair's window and tap on it and drive the cats crazy. The male will get in fights with his own reflection in our car mirrors if we leave them parked outside the garage for any length of time. It's really funny to watch, but can make a mess on your car. You can see this happening here And a little update on the nest: Here And, of course, a song to go along: Annie Lennox from "Diva" (1992) Live: Little Bird Acoustic version live: Little Bird
