Pictures of Our Baby!

Last year when we mounted the birdhouse, I have to say I was worried. Worried that I would fall in love with the concept of housing a bird, and never get a taker. When we put bird feeders in the back yard, I worried that the feeders would be too close to the house and no bird would be able to fend for territory under such hectic circumstances.
When it was time for a bird to move in I watched the house intently. I was standing at the sink one morning when I saw a House Sparrow enter the house with a twig in his mouth. I practically lost my breakfast in my excitement. I definitely made myself late for work because I had to call My Man and tell him the news.
Each day I watched with great enthusiasm and laughed to see Papa bird defend his house against a curious squirrel. The squirrel ran up the pole and got just below the mounting device when papa bird whizzed out of the house and dive bombed Ms. Squirrlipants twice before returning to his quaint little abode.
Papa bird does not like when Bright Red Cardinal sits atop his house but bird hierarchy prevents him from doing anything but squawking at this offender.
So yesterday morning I took a folding chair out to the back yard and while listening to the papa bird yell at me, fully expecting him to dive bomb and peck my awful-strange-why-are-you-doing-this-human-head, I took a photo. The babies are going to move out soon!
Isn't she beautiful?
