Hope things turn out well for her.
That is so cute. Beautiful photos.
Oh my goodness. She's sitting on eggs NOW?! The hatchlings must be very hardy to survive late winter weather.
This is funny, well spotted and nicely caught!
That is so nice. She's up high, secure and can keep an eye on things!
Nice shots, Mary!
You have me inspired - I should be going around, sticking tubs in trees. Adorable photos. That owl looks so smug in there.
Thank you all--madly working on the fellowship deadline, they'll be delays commenting!
YUP! EGGS NOW!!!
I can't believe I have missed this! What a hoot!! In more ways than one...nesting in a washtub of all things. But then we had a wren when I was a kid, that could find the weirdest things to build a nest in.
LOL! (Wrens are like that!) Thanks!! :-D
