Nest

What would you do with the luxurious soft undercoat hair of a German Shepherd dog? Since she is shedding, we have been brushing her outside. It seems her hair has been re-purposed! This is recycling at its best!

What a soft new world these babies will be hatched into.

I have never been so close to this nest, but this morning when I walked outside with coffee in hand, I noticed the parent birds weren't around. I zipped in to the house to grab the camera while I had a rare photo opportunity!

The birds must have gone off for a romantic breakfast together. I know better than to get too close to the nest when the parents are around, after all it would be terrible if they abandoned their eggs, so I got a quick shot and left. Through the window I can see at least one parent bird has returned to the nest. Sweet!

Happy Spring!

    What a sweet picture. Are the birds Robins? The eggs look blue. How nice to have detected the family-in-waiting.

    I was also going to ask what kind of birds they are? So sweet. Can't wait to see the babies, when Mom and Dad aren't anywhere near of course.

    Thank you all for your lovely comments. I am not sure what kind of birds they were- but definitely they weren't robins. Unfortunately I didn't catch any sweet peeps hatching.
