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 This was taken yesterday, 5.10.25 at 9.45am [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/674c5d17-1679-4ad0-a2bc-e9c7fa5d5cb1.jpeg] This was 5.9.25 at 1.45pm [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1f2e2b61-1984-46f9-ae14-3643a9a444ef.jpeg] 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
