We have a nandina bush just outside our side door. Birds have built nests in it for years. The circle is where the present nest is located.

I will be checking on the eggs for progress and will post further pictures and comments. Hopefully, I will get pictures of the parents soon.

May 12 -- I took a look today and as soon as I got close to the bush, mama bird took off. I took a picture of her from far far away. It was a little shaky, but it is the best I have of her yet. I will try later to get a better picture.
Mama Bird - May 12 |
I got these next two later in the afternoon. She flies away easily.
May 23: I have been in the hospital for a week and after two days at home I discovered we have some new baby birds.

One bird has his mouth wide open in the above picture. Just to the right you can see an unhatched egg. It is hard to tell if two or three of the eggs have hatched. Will check again tomorrow.

Updated May 31: Well, something got to our little Mockingbird nest. I haven't been up to checking the nest, and now the nest looks disturbed. I don't know if a cat got it or what. The unhatched egg is still there, and what looks like dried out little birds. I didn't spend much time looking because I am still a little weak from my surgery. It was very sad to see my little birds were dead.
