    You're going to have even more fun watching when those birds learn to fly.
    You don't need a webcam for your bird watching!

    Yes, that is tweet. My husband would love it if the birds built a nest on our window sill. He could watch them all day.

    that is soo nice! we have a houseboat and arent there very much. the dock its at is covered, the others there dont like the birds around say they are messy. so, these beautiful forktailed blue barnswallows build nests on out boat and no one takes them down, cus its our property. they are really a treat, they skim the air for bugs! I love them sharet

    How sweet. Last year I was able to watch the same sort of thing with a Humming bird and take pics from the time then she started building her nest,to laying her eggs and sitting on them,to the day that the babies left the nest. It was a very interesting time. Not very many people get to say they have been that close to nature. Enjoy the up closeness with them.

    Aww... That is soooo sweet. I have finches building nests in my hanging baskets. Cannot get a pick though because they are up too high. Love when this happens. Seems like every year they build nests in the most unusual places. at least they will stay nice and cozy!

    Good News:

    We now have 3 baby robins in the nest and one more egg.

    I was watching them this morning and the mommy robin heard me as she was in the tree and she came flying and set on her nest and looked at me (just talked talked talked) she wasn't happy that I was with her babies

    (I was inside the house looking out with the window open, it was so funny)
