Cool Finding!

We were enjoying our Sunday evening lounging on our deck and sipping ice tea as Ed looked up at the roof of the gazebo. "Hey, that looks like a birds nest doesn't it?". It sure did and it was. This was definitely a new nest because the gazebo has only been up for a month. We felt bad having to remove it, but we eat under there so we kind of had to do it. Luckily there were no eggs inside, even though it would have been cool to show Josie! It was so neat to see inside. I'm not sure why it felt so foreign to me, but I was so intrigued by it. The weaving that the little bird had done is just amazing. Josie thought the nest was beautiful and was so excited to hold it, but like most 4 year olds, she quickly began to take it apart out of curiosity. We tucked it into another tree (at an unreachable height) and now get to enjoy it a little longer. Hopefully the momma bird wasn't laying eggs anytime soon. Afterward, Josie showed us her bird impersonation and then her dinosaur one.
