This is for the birds! (nsc)
Mar 8^th, 2009 at 1:35pm

OK, so I'm watering some plants I've got hanging in the trees outside my place, and this bird I didn't see takes off from just a foot or so away from me, scared the piss out of me.
She then starts flying over me, thought I was going to get dumped on but I guess she just didn't have it in her, so to speak.
This is one very pissed off bird, flying around, screeching very loud.
Turns out the lazy bitch laid a couple of eggs in one of my plant baskets rather than building a nest higher up in the tree, only I didn't know this before dumping a half-gallon of cold water over the eggs.

Mama's returned to keep her eggs warm, but I wonder if that much cold water can do any damage to the eggs? :funny

if you can climb up on a ladder and take some pictures of these eggs during incubation and post them i would love to see them. what kind of bird is it? she probably loves the nice soft dirt.

I don't have a digital camera. I'll see if I can use a neighbor's. Don't know what kind of bird it is, except that it's brown in color. Two eggs are in the nest and are about the size of a pecan, maybe a bit bigger, white in color.

it sounds like you will have a few days to find a camera from somewhere. i would go for it because this is probably a once in a lifetime chance. congradulations.....enjoy them. maybe you could put up a birdfeeder for her too.

i had a friend a couple of years ago who had one of those oven gloves, for bbq'ing, hanging from her porch handrail and a bird laid eggs in it everytime i peeked in at them they would open their mouthes for food. it was the coolest thing....i named them the glove birds.

Well, I broke down and ordered my own camera from J&R, been wanting one anyway but it's not due to arrive until tomorrow.

In the meantime, the eggs hatched this morning.
Took a pic with my ancient cell phone. Here it is:

It's hard to make out, but the fuzzy spot in the center of the twigs are two young hatchlings.
