I noticed the mother bird about a week ago when there would be a bird who flew off every time I left my front door

I try hard to minimize the disturbance to her/them. I only have one door so I try to consolidate my trips out but when I do I try to get a picture of the nest

It’s very exciting to me because I’ve never been in such close proximity to a nest before. I was sure I heard baby bird peeps earlier today and it turns out I was right!!

I’ve had a bird bath on my balcony consistently over the winter and have started setting out seeds for the resident birds. Every day I get a new visitor or something to marvel at! But I believe having the consistent water source was key to the gal nesting where she did

    keep an eye out for crows

    we watched a nest in our yard and the day those little babies tried to take their first flight, crows came and killed them the minute they were out

      Unfortunately we have a lot of crows and cats residents let run free. Not too many cats come over to our apartments, upstairs at least

      I’m now kinda worried but nature is cruel and there is nothing I’ll be able to do

      I’ll still stay optimistic!
