My Little Nest Egg by olivetreeann

My Little Nest Egg

I had pulled into the driveway last week and was surprised to see a Tufted Titmouse descend into the hollow of a dead tree that's in our front yard. That called for some investigation! And sure enough she's got a nest in there. It's been a few days, so I'll have to go check on the nest and see if anyone's hatched yet. I had to shine a flash light in there to get this shot and it stresses her out a bit, so I've tried to stay clear- tempting as it has been to check in daily! Unfortunately the light washes out the egg(s).
Always exciting to see something like this.

how exciting. Look forward to news of the little ones. I agree though - best not to frighten them - must be tempting.

What a wonderful find and a terrific shot of it. Kudos to you for not bothering her too much.

Thank you Kathy, Denise, Helen, and Katy! I checked this afternoon and the babies are born! There are 5 of them and since Mama wasn't around, I did try to take a few shots. The picture's not really that good, but I'll probably post it in a day or two. I've just gotten word we'll be heading down to KY tomorrow and not on Friday so tonight is going to be hectic!
