I thought the finches would win the nest building and egg laying contest, but I ended up setting them back by bringing the ferns in for a few cold nights. I guess that allowed the robin to get back to nest building, which took her at least a week. She's been sitting on the nest for a few weeks and now we've been rewarded with babies! I think there are three or four in the nest. Eric has actually been somewhat polite and quiet when he goes outside, which is big for him.

ReplyDeleteI love this picture! This family picked the perfect house to start a family.
ReplyDeleteOn a completely different note, I have lost my japanese gardening knife (Hori Hori knife). Actually I think one of my boys recycled it for me. It is making me very sad.
