Nesting

We had a fun experience this spring when we noticed that we had a bird's nest and four speckled eggs inside a wreath on our front door. The only bad thing was that it was when I finally got around to taking down my Christmas wreath after the holidays were over. Guess it will be my spring wreath too...

It was exciting to watch the eggs every day and wait for them to hatch.  Momma bird would fly up into our tree and squawk at us any time we would open our front door. It took them a couple weeks but they hatched on Easter!

Pretty soon they were ready to leave the nest and I was thrilled to finally put up my real spring wreath.
