Most years we’ve been in this house we’ve had nests out on the porch, usually house finches, sometimes mourning doves and hummingbirds. This year is no different.
Today however I noticed a bird staying in the nest even when I came outside (this is right above the sliding glass door) when in the past they’ve flown off instantly, so I’m guessing there are eggs in the nest now.
Mama Bird is on watch. I sat down nearby and the male immediately came over and perched on the rain gutter next to the nest. I’m guessing any attempt to get closer would have been met with an attempted eye gouging. I saw what happened to Tippi Hedron & Rod Taylor – I kept my distance.
