A bird in hand is worth 4 in the tree?

A nest appeared in the tree just outside my apartment. The branch is at eye level, and 3 or 4 feet from the edge of the balcony. Not really the best place for a nest if you want it secluded from people, or roaming neighborhood cats…

I’ve been sneaking out to check on the nest a few times a day, and when Mama Bird was out for food or whatever, I took some pictures.

With a step stool, leaning over the balcony and blind shooting with my camera, I got this one. Looks like 4 eggs.

I’m watching them eagerly :)

    So fun! We have some, too, if we can convince my mom to keep leaving up her fake winter tree!

    How fantastic! I can’t wait to watch them hatch. (But no pressure to keep up with the pictures or anything.) :)

    You are so lucky! The birds in my yard hide their nests under the bushes where you can’t find them.
