Another Back Yard Story

We have a very old bird house made from a gourd hanging in a large maple tree by our deck.  It’s about 10 feet from where we sit.

We have been lucky enough to have two different families of sparrows in this nest each summer.  What an education!  We’ve been able to watch these birds from courting and nest building to babies leaving the nest.

We have actually seen 4 baby birds fly from the nest over the past few years.  Some of them are quite talented and can fly right away, and some just flutter down to the ground.

Here’s a picture of a mother bird feeding one of her babies.
