Today is Sunday July 1st, the beginning of a new month and to my delight the beginning of a new life, in the making...Look what I found in a bush next to our porch...
...To make this find even sweeter, it is the nest of the Maryland State bird ~ the Oriole ~ well, so I thought, but after doing some research...I actually can not identify this beauty...
She was in her nest, but quickly flew off ~ a fence post away to stear me away from her baby...I can already see she is going to be a very good parent...
I quickly snapped a picture of the only egg I see...are there more?
I will quietly visit her again, and to try capture more pictures as the babies are born, etc...
If you can identify this bird, please drop me a line! I would love to know.
Hope you had a great weekend!
