While over at Mrs. Dean’s place on Monday, I was told about a bird who was building a nest in the garage. It seems that a little wren has decided to build a nest and lay her eggs in a bundle of pine straw, plastic and barbie hair on a shelf. Naturally, I grabbed my camera and ran out to snap a picture. There are 4 little eggs in the nest. I said “Perhaps I will get to take some photos of the baby birdies when I come over next time!” Little did I know that the same thing would happen to me! It seems that a little wren has chosen my now nicely blooming fuchsia as her nest site. She was digging a little depression in it earlier today, and filling it with bits of moss. Interesting! I’ll have to remember not to water it like I normally do (throw a glassful of water everywhere). Right now it’s just a bit of moss on some dirt, so once the rest of the nest is built, I’ll take some pics for everyone! Hopefully some baby birdie pictures to follow!
