My own animal planet


Our front porch is covered with Confederate Jasmine – the perfect place for a bird’s nest.

A few weeks ago we noticed a mother bird had built a small nest in the Jasmine growing on the column next to our front door. I have been monitoring the progress each day.

Last weekend, while working in the yard, I grabbed the step ladder and climbed up to peer into the nest. Baby birds!

This weekend they are big enough to pop their fuzzy little heads (I think there are two) out of the nest. I managed to capture this picture. It’s not too clear but you can tell we have a bird family living at our house.

I really hope I’m home when they attempt to leave the nest.
