My new babies

A few nights ago, I went to sit in the hot tub and as I threw the cover back, startled a bird (and it startled me) that went flying out of the bushes planted along the house. I was suspicious, but it was dark out so I didn't think any more about it. Tonight, it was deja vu...me scaring bird, bird scaring me as I flung back the lid. I decided to peek into the shrub and was delighted at what I found!




Here is mama staring me down and making sure I don't upset her babies.


My guess is that they have been there about a week and a half already and upon doing some research the eggs should hatch in about 12 - 16 days.
I'll be peeking in over the next few days and weeks to see what's happening in my own backyard....

Awww. That's so neat! I hope you'll post a progress report when the babies hatch. (And dang...I'm so jealous that you've been hot tubbing.)
