I don't know what these birds were thinking when they built their nest here. Looks to me they have 5 eggs waiting to hatch. I tried to get a pic of the birds but the ones I took did not show to much. Please excuse the ugly light fixture. This is a motion detector light and it is on a lot during the night. I guess they really like the extra heat.

Very cool Small Fish, the birds were thinking shelter from the rain. Also, the get additional heat for the chicks when the light comes on at night, smart birds.
It speaks well of you also, there are real jerks out there that would have destroyed the nest as a "nuisance" or an "eyesore" when in fact it is a really beautifull thing. My wife loves Spring, the birds are non stop to our feeder and then they bring the babies back here.
The babies, allthough they can fly, still want the parents to eat the seed and then feed them and we get to watch it all unfold. Ain't life grand?
