I saw the bird first thing in the morning and wondered if he would spend another day in the nest. Next time I looked, I found an empty nest. I was all excited for the little bird. A little sad too.
Both mom and dad birds hover near the nest, chirping away. I imagine they say something like, “Your brothers and sisters all took off, went to school, graduated from college, got jobs and started families of their own, and here you sit. Why don’t you get out there and get a job?”
And he’s all, “Nah. I’m good. Oh, hey, could you bring me another worm while you’re up?”
And they do.
The nest on the gas tank now has six eggs.
Found another nest on one of our lights. It has three eggs in it.
We had robin’s eggs all over the place two years ago. It’s been fairly quiet until lately. They’re at it again. Whee!
