Since my blog “Special Delivery,” Laurie and I have only seen the mamma bird fly out of the mailbox a couple of times. It’s actually quite scary. If you look in the mailbox she’ll fly right out at eyeball level with her beak pointed straight at you. She even tried to attack our handyman Martin.
Yesterday, however, Laurie got the courage to stick her head way into the mailbox. And what did she see?
The nest is still in there. You can see the cave way in the back. Upon closer inspection, there are actually baby birds in there!
It’s kind of hard to see, and I didn’t want to be too invasive with the camera, but that little gray spot in the nest is the baby birds. They look to be about the size of golf balls.
We’re still having our mail but in a box next to the door so as not to disturb the nest. I would imagine they still have several weeks left before they are ready to venture out of there.
