I have never seen so many bird nests around our yard as I have this year.
We discovered nests in my wall flower box, a crepe myrtle tree at the driveway, and in a utensil caddy near the grill.
I understood the nest in the crepe myrtle tree, but the other two locations were brave and had me in awe that birds even considered building and raising babies there. We walk through those areas all the time! Perhaps the birds considered us loving enough to not disturb their areas. Nevertheless, I took pride in having areas where the birds felt comfortable enough to be so close, including us in their circle of nature.
I felt a little sad when they left, as I no longer heard their endless chirping. I felt as if they didn't say 'goodbye' upon their departure. That's life. Until next Spring, 'bye bye birdies'.

Does that mean you have a healthy Eco system? Wish I could zoom in on those pics tho!
ReplyDeleteThanks, CGPlenty. I guess I do. I've seen grass snakes, lizards, frogs, several bird species (still need to get a bird book), all types of critters. At some point I need to get the pond together: fish and turtle.
