Baby Wrens On Garden Shelves

These wrens are harder to photograph because they're in such a dark place. I imagine they're into their second week of life from the looks of their feathers. Here they are getting a little closer to the edge of the nest. You can even see their eyes opening.

Baby Bird Nest #2

Franklin was right. He said I'd find another nest to photograph and I have. Well, he found it, actually. I don't yet know what these are but my bird expert friends are welcome to take a guess. They're on a shelf in my garden area if that's a clue. As for the "new house", we're about to put up the knock-down ceiling next week, then over the next week or so, we'll paint the walls, then put on the wood flooring.

Three eggs in a bush

  I found this nest a few days ago. It's located right on the dirt road leading to our house. I don't yet know what type of bird laid these and haven't seen an adult bird nearby until today when I saw a small bird flying away from the back of this small tree. Don't know if it's parent to the eggs or not. I hope to be able to keep an eye on it as I walk by each day and photograph the yong ones as they hatch and grow. Stay tuned. The nest is only about four foot off the ground. If anyone knows what kind of bird laid these eggs, please post a comment.
