The Nest in our Wind Chimes
A few weeks ago we noticed a bird dart off our wind chimes every time we opened our front door.
We began to suspect that she was trying to build a nest on them. Hence, the odd twig sticking out:
Last week we decided to take a peak inside the sugar bowl.
Boy, were we wrong!
The bird was so small that she built a nest in our wind chimes. A fluffy, thickly woven, yet petite nest inside the sugar bowl of our re-purposed wind chimes (a lovely wedding present from my friend Amanda that has traveled with us from Colorado to each of our houses in California).
We found five beautiful, speckled, tiny eggs.
Such a perfect Earth Day surprise.
I can’t wait to hear little birds chirping every time I go through our front door. Ah, spring, we love you.
