Baby Birds

When we moved, we put all our stuff into the garage, since the house was still not completed at the time.  We've been slowly working our way through the piles of boxes and furniture in the garage for the past month, cleaning things up and determining where they would go in the house before we brought them in the door.  Near the beginning of July I came a cross a box that had a nest in it, with four tiny eggs.  Since the garage has been left open, I figured that a bird had built a nest in it before we moved into the house, and we had probably scared the momma bird off with all our moving and commotion.  I move the box into a stack at the back, just to be sure.  Then we actually saw momma bird flying into the nest, so we knew she was still trying to hatch the eggs.  Last week we finally got our garage doors installed, and Mark and I knew we needed to keep one door open, just in case momma bird came back.  Well, Sunday morning there was a storm and Mark closed the garage doors, and we forgot about them until Tuesday morning when Mom and I were in the garage working our way through a few boxes.  I checked on the nest, and there were two little TINY babies!  I quickly opened the garage door and it wasn't long after that momma bird came back to take care of them!  There are now four babies, and they are actually starting to look like birds.  We will do whatever we can to make sure they have a successful start!
