Left the Nest

On Wednesday afternoon I was sitting out on the swing reading and I watched our baby birds leave the nest one by one.

Rapunzel Cornelius

Charlie It has been so fun watching the nest being built, Mama Bonnie laying and sitting on the eggs, and seeing the babies hatch. We(especially Piper) are going to miss these little guys.

Meet...

Rapunzel, Cornelius, and Charlie. Yes the baby birds in our backyard finally hatched. This is the first little head that popped out of the nest.
Today all three finally made an appearance. Both Piper and Paige enjoy sitting outside watching Momma Bonnie bring the babies food. Though they are messy little things, it has been fun watching it all happen from our swing in the backyard.

New Tenant

We have a new tenant living in our backyard. When we got back from our weekend in Oregon, we found that someone had moved in. They have worked so hard on the nest, we decided not to knock it down.
This isn't the best picture, but every time I walk outside the bird takes off. Luckily we have a great view of the nest from our bathroom window.

Love/Hate

I love our purple flower bushes in the back yard but I hate that they attract so many bees! Oh well, I guess you have to take the bad with the good.
