Before I start this post, I want to add a line from my last post about famous lines from the movies “As God is my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly” WKRP in Cincinati. Those that remember the show, there is no need to explain you are grinning already.
May 18th is my official day to remove the outdoor Christmas decorations. I was about to pull the wreath off the front door when I realized that there was a birds nest in the middle of the wreath complete with eggs. I wasn’t sure if the nest was real as the wreath is pretty woodsy looking. I confered with my wife who assured me that the wreath did not come with a nest. When I went back out to look again Momma bird was a little upset, so I went on to other things. Monday May 21st I took a picture of the eggs and two birds had hatched. Every few days I would sneak out and take snap another picture. June 5th I walked up to the nest as usual and snapped my picture and got out of the way. I walked across the driveway and when I looked back all five baby birds exploded from the nest landing in the various trees. The following are the pictures in order.
LOL when you mentioned the official date to remove your Christmas decorations. Too bad you didn’t take movies of the birds. We have the kids for a few days so I’ll show it to them tonight. I’m sure they’ll get a kick out of it.
I wondered who would pick up on that.
