Bird Watching

It seems that despite the weather of late, SPRING truly is here.  We have had a mama and daddy bird diligently building and watching over their nest that they have built over the down spout on the back of our house.  Here are a few pictures from our bird watching adventures.

(Keep in mind I am taking these pics through a very dirty kitchen window with as much zoom as my little COOLPIX camera can handle!)

The kids are loving that we have our “own” birds. Avery has named the baby birds Fuzzy, Tweety Bird, Chirpy and Twudily. 

Congratulations Mama Bird…thanks for letting us watch your babies grow!

We’ll keep you updated as the little ones start to leave the nest…More to come!
