Baby Birds

Shortly after my sister passed away a bird kept trying to make a nest on my front door wreath. The next thing I knew it has made a beautiful nest and laid 4 little eggs in it.  The girls and I have enjoyed watching the mother bird keep the eggs warm. Just as soon as we were about to give up on the eggs actually hatching, two baby birds emerged.  It has been neat watching them look more and more like a bird than a tiny alien thing. Now they barely fit in the nest.  I'm ready for them to leave the nest as my beautiful wreath is full of bird poop.  Mikayla has gotten so into watching the bird that when she was given the task to pick any animal in the world and do a research paper, she chose to write about the bird on our front door.  She went to the local nature center with the photos of the nest and the eggs. We have not been able to get a photo of the mother bird as it is too quick for us to snap a photo.

Let just look like weird fuzzy aliens.
