Remember the little birds that got trashed by something a while ago?

| First Wren nest |
Well, I found a second nest in late June. This time it was well hidden on a ladder beside the shop and behind another ladder. I would have never known it was there except I needed the front ladder to get something off the overhead in the shop. When I put the ladder back I saw the nest. There were only three eggs in this nest so I decided just to leave it alone, although I did check on it once in a while.
Once the eggs hatched I snuck in while Mama was out getting some breakfast and took a couple pictures for posterity. I didn't want to draw any attention to the nest in case somebody (ugly) was watching.
Early July and they were just little fuzz balls.

Then they started to look like birds.

A couple days later and they really looked like birds.

And then they had flown the coop, so to speak. At least these survived.

Nice. I am glad you waited until they were safe to post. I bet the nest raider reads your blog. :D
