BIRDS EYE VIEW


We noticed two birds spending a great deal of time around our veranda and then realized they were building a nest. The construction process was exhilarating. The two of them flying up and down back and forth pulling cob webs from the corners, strings from the blankets, hauling leaves, twigs, grass, feathers. It was a two day process and it turned out beautifully.

It has been fascinating to watch this mother-to-be in her nesting sort of way. She spends countless hours on her nest leaving only for brief moments. It is a beautiful thing to watch. She now resides in the folds of the shade. The cover which once brought shade from the sun has now become home to a family of birds.
