Baby Birds

So we've lived in this house for 11 years and this is the first year that we have had any kind of bird nests in our trees. And we don't have just one, we have two...YEAH!!

The other day we were out in the back yard and there was cotton all over under the Aspen tree. I asked Kelly what was going on. He looked over under the tree and had no idea. We had cotton and other stuff everywhere. The next day it was all gone for I just figured the wonderful storms we have been having lately blew it all away. Then a few days later I was over at the tree for who knows why and looked up. There above where all the cotton was all over the ground is a dove nest. The kids were so excited to see this. They have been watching it everyday for the babies. But nothing yet.

But for better news, the Maple tree in the front yard does have a Robin's next with 3 babies. You can see them from the front porch, so we sit out there and watch the little heads pop up looking around. It is so cute. The kids are so excited to be able to watch the progress of the birds.
