It was about two years ago I found this sweet little angel birdhouse and hung it on a branch of the Japanese maple. No birds showed any interest and the house remained vacant.
But one day this week I noticed it swaying and as I watched a little chickadee appeared at the entrance!
I decided I would try to get a closer look.
So I edged closer to the tree. There was something a little fluffy looking. Was it a baby bird or just part of the nest?
I moved in closer, held my camera up in front of the hole and snapped a picture. One cute little beak was poised just waiting for the parent to return with more food! You can click on the phot to enlarge it.
I quickly backed away before the parents came back. Such a simple thing but what a thrill!I'm not doing thankful Thursday as a regular post anymore , but today I want to say I am thankful to have experienced one of God's miracles....the miracle of birth.

You are so right...catching a glimpse of babies is the best! Your bird house is adorable but the babies are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteChickadees are so sweet. I love their cute song. I'm glad you got a new neighbor. Your bench turned out great. And your home looks so springy. You really have the touch. Mimi
