This weekend was kinda for the birds! Literally..... you can really tell Spring is here. This is our new momma-to-be at the White house. What a proud momma she is too. Just ask her, or better yet try to get close to her eggs!
The first day we found the eggs there were three but one more has been deposited in the nest in the last two days. It is amazing how much like gravel the eggs seem to look. And why in the world do these birds think a road is a good place to make a nest? Or precisely 4 inches from the road like this momma bird has built. She is very protective of her nest whenever anyone comes close.
They try all kind of antics to get you to just 'get away' from their nests. Those antics include a lot of crippling around and a lot of squealing or screaming or whatever kind of noise a kildeer might make.
And then there are the humming birds. Our first one showed up last week on Wednesday.... or that is when I think it was. I hope he left to tell all of his friends about the good food at the White house. 
This is not recent a picture but must one of many from last years birds. I sure hope those guys remember where they dined at every day last year.
We are also enjoying visits from bluebirds. Not sure if we have any birds nesting yet as the sparrows won't seem to leave them alone. 
They sure have been looking into it though. For now... enough about the birds. I am falling asleep at my computer so it is time for bed. Until nest time... I mean next time :)
