the bird box 2

We checked inside the bird box again today and were lucky to find the mother titmouse away, giving us full view of 4 eggs. They lay one a day for 4-6 days, so she may not be done yet.

Then she came back to protect her eggs. She was tapping loudly on the side of the bird box, telling us to scram!

    Awww…How adorable. I just love birds. It will be great when they hatch and you get some shots of them.

    Have a terrific day Ferd. Big hug. :)

    This so interesting! I can't wait 'til they hatch!

    That's awesome! I don't think I've ever seen a bird's egg in real life.

    I'll be sure to post the pix when they hatch. Maybe I'll give out cigars! ;-)

    I'm glad you're so excited! But hold your bladder, you'll just have to wait! ;-)

    Really!? Never? Oh, well, real life is over-rated anyway. ;-)

    We are lucky! Though of course we set up the bird box on our deck specifically for this purpose. :-)

    I would love to do this, but I'm afraid it would just be a lunch box for one of our cats. As foolproof as it might be, he finds ways to get anywhere you don't want him to be.
