MIlls Mockingbird Chronicles
We have a nice hanging basket of flowers on the patio - well, used to be nice. About 2 days after we hung it up, a Mockingbird decided to build a nest in it. We discovered 4 little eggs - so we have been gentle when watering.
Today the Mama Mockingbird was really uneasy with the dogs and me being out there. She first flew off to this fence post -
Then braved the nearby roof - and finally just braved it and flew on in. You can just see her at the top center of the 2nd photo...
I went out to check the watering I was doing, and she was not there, nor did I see her anywhere. So I took a peek -
And now I know why she was so nervous! They look kinda gross, but it looks like they are still hatching, so hopefully they are okay.
More to come on the Mills' Mockingbird Chronicles...
(We'll have to keep an eye on a particular beagle)
