Over the past 2 1/2 weeks we have watched a small (about 4 inches around) bird nest with 5 little "cadbury" looking eggs...hatch into 5 little birdies...and now, as of today, they have all flown away. We watched 1 fly away Friday night, and the rest have followed within 24 hours. It was actually pretty neat to see the whole process. Mama bird, over the past 2 weeks, would come about every 1/2 hour to bring food, and kept a close eye on them from our fence. She built this little nest in our front step rose bush. I even talked to the landscapers and asked them not to trim the rosebushes while the birds were still there...so, now they can be trimmed. Here is a picture from Friday afternoon.
