Small Blessings–the joys of spring and motherhood

Wondering about the eggs in the boot from a couple of blogs ago?  Wondering what kind of bird fits inside a boot  to lay so many perfect tiny eggs?  Wonder no more.

Mama Bird’s a Carolina wren, and very conscientious.  The babies are alive and well, although we hope they eventually begin to look more like her.

Now, are you asking yourself how my son got that perfect photo of Mama Bird without scaring her off?  Easy–for him.  He set up a camera with motion detection to monitor her comings and goings.

“This” Mama Bird raised a flock of techie sons.  I hope Mama Bird’s as happy with her offspring.
