Let the dog in!

A Baby (Bird) Story

Remember these? One more was laid after I took this picture.

Remember her? She’s a Swainson’s Thrush (I think).

As of yesterday, she has these.

We’re positively giddy here at the Let the dog in! household.

Stay tuned for feathers.

Mama bird picked a bush that is about three feet from our living room window. Probably seemed like a good idea at the time (we were out of town for a week) to her.

But it’s turned out really cool to watch.

Congratulations. We had a mamma earlier this spring but right around the time her babies should have hatched all activity around the next ceased.

Oh, that is sad. We are constantly worried about predators to our little babies in the nest!

The eggs are absolutely gorgeous! Have fun watching them grow up…they do so in a HUGE hurry!
