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

    Thanks for the app recommendation, just installed it! I’ve got a few new birds showing up as birds are migrating back and I would love to learn their IDs. This guy was fairly easy. And chickadees are nearly unmistakable; they say their own name!

    Also on YouTube Cornell has live nest cams, so fun to watch
