About a month ago I spied this large-ish nest in the short tree in the front yard. We don't have any really tall trees actually. This is the same tree that had a tiny nest right at Mommy height awhile back - Humming Bird or Finch we thought. Mommy thought this nest was abandoned but I had faith someone would use it again. Well about a week ago someone started feathering the nest - with actual feathers. I wonder who's gonna live there? I will keep my vigil and try to spot the new residents. Mommy is betting on the morning dove family that already lives in the yard. I'm hoping it is not another mocking bird (as it actually mocks me!) but we'll see.
P.S. - Sorry my winter cat friends but it does feel like spring is almost here.
Okay Mommy only visted like three people and is already complaining of not feeling so hot. We'll drop by and visit you tommorrow.
ReplyDeleteHope your mommy feels better soon! You take good care of her Fin! That is one amazing nest you got there...hope it's filled with lots of birdies soon!
ReplyDeleteUmm, interesting nest. Do tell when you find out. Hope your mommy feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big nest! Maybe two bird families will move in!
ReplyDeleteWe hope your mom feels better soon...
feel betters!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone... Mommy did try to visit everyone but didn't leave as many comments.
ReplyDeleteHey I used to always leave comments in my comments then no one seemed to notice (except Daisy and Whicky), but since you all noticed I'll do it again. Thanks for coming by.
You can see my other comments within the comments on other days too. Just check back from the day before.
I love bird watching, too!
ReplyDeleteWe've got a tui (pretty native NZ bird) outside our place right now.
I don't have any trees in my yard so there are no nests. I would like regular updates on yours please.

We had two different nest last year which got established before I arrived. I wonder how many we'll get this year... You are so lucky, Fin: Spring?! We got the second snowdrop blooming...
ReplyDeleteBrr, I hope your mom feels better already!
Purrs, Siena
We hope your mom is feeling better. Perhaps some extra snuggles are in order?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great nest to have in your yard. We love that the birds are feathering it with feathers, how funny:) But then, maybe that's where the saying came from... hmmm, now you've got us wondering:)
Fin dear, I hope your Mom feels better soon - maybe she's getting too much sleep? This is damaging for humans, unlike we cats *sniggers*
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge nest! It's bound to be full to bursting with yummy baby birds soon. I'd be on constant vigil.
Wuudles
We can't wait to see the baby birds!

How cool, Fin! I can't wait to see who moves in!
ReplyDeleteWe are looking forward to seeing who moves in.
ReplyDeleteOur yellowbell is blooming, we have our paws crossed it doesn't get killed as we have had some very hard frost lately.

ReplyDeleteBest of health to your mommy - and have fun watching that pretty nest. Spring will be nice to see won't it?
ReplyDeleteWow!! A real live bird nest!! We can't wait to see what moves in! And for speing to come!! We are tired of the cold weather! Puuurs to the Mom to feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteYour (we want warm weather again) FL furiends,
We can't wait to find out who the new residents are! We have a few nests in our crape myrtle trees, we think they belong to mockingbirds!
ReplyDeleteP.S Hope your mom feels better!
We have some mourning doves in our yard, too. They always go like this: Hoooohoohooooooooo! Hoooo! Hooooo! Hoooooohoooohoohooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteWe're just happy to hear that spring is actually going to come someday. It gives us hope!

PS We hope your mother feels better soon.
It felt like spring was here too, yesterday, with a high of 70 F. But winter is coming back this weekend and so the kitties will have to stay in the keep warm.
ReplyDeleteHere's to spring coming soon!
Ooh! That's like Papa's Big Screen TV!
ReplyDeleteIago
It will be interesting to see what turns up in that nest!
ReplyDeleteMy floof is working overtime in my latest post. Come visit.
How exciting! You are growing your own baby fev-vers. We hope your mum soon feels better.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! Mom is doing better.
ReplyDeleteWe thought feathering the nest was just an expression too Forever Foster.
I wont be eating the residents.
Is it Mourning Doves Daisy? Morning Doves sounds much happier. Ours are very chatty too.
I can't wait to see who moves into that nest! It was 55F here today and I wanted to go out but mom and dad made me stay inside. I hope that your mom feels better!
ReplyDeletePurrrrrrrrrrrs, China Cat
Oh, how neat - I wonder who it will be?
ReplyDelete(It's been pretty warm here, too.)
Hurray for signs of Spring!!! I am trying to stay positive as the Winter is already on my last nerve and we still have three months of it to go!!!
ReplyDeleteI will live vicariously through you!
