Bird update

Our house guest has been busy these last few days. The nest now has 4 eggs. The mom has laid an egg a day and just ended yesterday. Here are a few pictures that we have taken. Taking these pictures is not the easiest thing to do. We only try to take pictures when the nest is empty, yet everytime we get close the mom and dad come from nowhere and both start chirping nervously at us.

Here is momma nervously posing for the camera. We've been leaving her alone for the most part, but it's times like these that she has second thoughts about where she built her nest. We should see some babies in about 12 to 16 days. We'll post pictures when they come. Pretty exciting stuff around the Leggat house!

That looks like so much fun! What lucky girls to get to watch that. I can't wait to see what the little birdies look like. I love that you got such great pictures, I feel as if I'm there seeing the whole thing in person. Tell the family Hi from us!

Ah, so that's why they call it Robin's Egg Blue...
How neat and fun. It was fun to go to lunch yesterday. I've got some photos I'll be posting soon!
