Mother's Day Brings a Momma Bird - May 2010

Mother's Day weekend brought me a new grandson and some beautiful flowering plants for the front porch.....




But it also brought us a Momma bird who wanted to make a nest for her eggs.....



The Momma bird was a bit defensive, dive bombing us if we got close to her nest or the flowers and I debated taking the next out of the plant. We actually moved the plant from the right side of the porch to the left side and she actually started a new nest in the other plant. So, we left the plant and the nest alone.

We found this a few weeks later.....





After the birdies flew away and the Momma left the nest, we left the nest alone and went on vacation. we forgot to get someone to water the plants and the other two died. This one has remained green and full all summer and into the fall.
