We discovered last week that in the bush right next to our deck a momma bird had made a nest and laid a few eggs! It was neat to watch her come and go, taking care of her little ones and if you got to close she was sure to swoop around and watch your every move. Brian even snuck his hand in there to touch one of the little ones (although I heard that means the mom wont come back if she smells a human touch -- she did!) before they were old enough to fly away. When I checked tonight when we got home, I have to admit I was a little bummed to find an empty nest! We certainly have a long time before we'll have an "empty nest" but I hope it doesn't fly by as fast as the baby birdies grew out of their nest :)
