I noticed the mother bird about a week ago when there would be a bird who flew off every time I left my front door

I try hard to minimize the disturbance to her/them. I only have one door so I try to consolidate my trips out but when I do I try to get a picture of the nest

It’s very exciting to me because I’ve never been in such close proximity to a nest before. I was sure I heard baby bird peeps earlier today and it turns out I was right!!

I’ve had a bird bath on my balcony consistently over the winter and have started setting out seeds for the resident birds. Every day I get a new visitor or something to marvel at! But I believe having the consistent water source was key to the gal nesting where she did

    I swear some of these people who names birds actually hated birds.

    Dark eyed Junko sounds like something you’d call someone when you’re sulking.

      Lol yeah there are some interesting names for sure. Like someone was begrudgingly tasked with naming all the birds and by the time they got down to the end they were just over it
