My jays nest seems to be holding up fine too. I guess the parents actually do know what they are doing. LOL
I was out trying to get another photo of the mom on her nest this morning when the daddy bird showed up and fed the momma and then I saw a tiny little orange mouth just above the edge of the nest as the daddy bird fed the little hatchling. So, we have at least one baby bird in the nest!
I tried to get a picture, but it didn't come out. I am afraid to get too close to the nest and when I zoom in where I think the nest is, it's so dark in there I can't see if I have the birds in the view finder. I'll keep trying.
This is soooooo exciting. Last we heard, you figured it was about time they hatched; now we know!!
P.S. They may hatch one per day like my hummers did...
