| Christmas Wreath |
OK, I know this isn't exactly an "excellent adventure" and Bill and I should probably think about doing something a little more exciting, but we spent almost a month watching a family of Cardinals hatch and grow in a wreath directly outside our front door. As you can see, the wreath is a Christmas wreath that I had started to take down when I saw a nest on the very top next to the eave of the roof. The nest was protected from wind and rain, but every time we walked out the door or the paperboy came
or we looked out the door to check on the nest, Mama Cardinal would fly away and leave her babies to the dastardly deeds that we were undoubtedly planning So at those times, I would set out bird feed or take pictures of the progress they were making. It was fun to watch the eggs hatch one at a time and turn into little pink blobs with white fuzz. I would enlarge the pictures to try to make out a beak or a foot, but the five little blobs looked like just that...blobs.
