Brian and I have a family of birds living in a flower basket on the porch. Thought some of you would like to see pictures of them. It's been wonderful watching them grow. Hard to resist petting their cute little heads, but I have. I'll post more pictures in a couple of days.
The nest.
The mother sat on the eggs for about three weeks until they hatched.
The first one hatched on the morning of July 2.
They were all out of their eggs by that evening.
A day old.
Five days old, sleeping.
"Feed us."
Who will make the first bait joke? You guys are so predictable.

Hanging basket my friend....these birds are probably in the safest location around. Suspend, pillars that can't be climbed and a cat hating land owner....
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.
My first thought was that it's a mocking bird nest. The eggs are the right color but typically have speckles on them. The flash may have muted them out. If the shells were speckled, that would be my guess. Florida State Bird... Northern Mocking Bird.
"Good Judgement" comes from experience, ... and a lot of that..... results from "Bad Judgement".
I believe some of us now understand how Brian was able to find and capture such a good look'n lady!
