can happen in many ways. At the moment we have a robin who has built her nest on one of the posts under our balcony, and when I look down through the crack between the boards I can see 3 perfect blue eggs! I tried to take a picture, but the camera doesn't seem to look around corners as well as my eyes do ;) Unfortunately, it's right under our path between the side door and the table with the barbeque on it, so 'momma' gets disturbed rather frequently, but she seems persistent, and sets up the cry of "cat, cat, cat" whenever we step out onto the balcony.
And we discovered at suppertime that we have a beautiful little warbler in the house! We often leave the door open to outside, because these days it's warmer outside than in ... the roof over our balcony shields us completely from the sun... and I suppose it flew in sometime this afternoon. Have you ever tried to chase a bird down from a 26' ceiling? There's a fan up there, sitting still at this time of year, and the bird finds it a perfect rest, between frantic flights back and forth the length of the house. I'm not sure what we'll do if it's still there at bedtime: I'm not too keen on the idea of leaving the door open all night - who knows what might move in?
Still lovin' the country ....
