I noticed the mother bird about a week ago when there would be a bird who flew off every time I left my front door

I try hard to minimize the disturbance to her/them. I only have one door so I try to consolidate my trips out but when I do I try to get a picture of the nest

It’s very exciting to me because I’ve never been in such close proximity to a nest before. I was sure I heard baby bird peeps earlier today and it turns out I was right!!

I’ve had a bird bath on my balcony consistently over the winter and have started setting out seeds for the resident birds. Every day I get a new visitor or something to marvel at! But I believe having the consistent water source was key to the gal nesting where she did

    Ok, I have to say I am in love with this app. I’ve learned a few more species I have around here. It’s addictive. I’ve had a little extra time in the mornings to enjoy nature (injury flare up, so I’ve had to stay home) and it’s been so rewarding sitting outside and listening. I have to stay inside or I scare the birds from my balcony but omg the variety I have around me. I would have never known!

    I’ve heard the birds around me but hardly see the them; I’ve been so overjoyed these last few days since you recommended that app. Referring back the injury, I can’t really indulge in my normal activities like gaming or gardening, but at least I have always enjoyed nature so this has been such a positive outlet for me and the overlap of my interests and abilities
