Last week, as I was watering another plant on the same shelf, I accidentally bumped the watering can against the shelf. Imagine my surprise when a small brown bird seemingly catapulted out of the nest. I actually squeaked with surprise!
While she was gone, I had to sneak a peek in the nest and see if there was anything there.
I was in luck!
Please excuse the fuzzy photo:
After taking this photo, I began to get worried that I had scared the mother away permanently. But I've seen her come and go a few times since, and we've been treated to some serenading by what I presume is her "husband."
I have no idea when the eggs were laid or when they might hatch, but I'll keep an eye out and keep you posted.

Oooh, that is so sweet! How lovely that you have birds that make nests in your yard!
That will be cool to watch! I have a friend who had a bird that made a nest with eggs in a wreath on their front door! Everyone was routed around the house to the back until the babies were gone! Carol
LOL, I've heard of that happening Carol.
