Surprise Guests


We noticed a bird decided to build a nest near the top of our pergola on the back porch where the jasmine is growing. The constant chirping and squeaking from the nest is a dead giveaway to the fact that its eggs have recently hatched. Upon investigation, it turns out that the  mamma hatched two baby chicks. We researched what type of bird it is, and it turns out we have a family of Northern Mockingbirds living by our back door- which happens to be the state bird of Texas. It has been a very cool and intimate experience watching the baby chicks grow from day to day. We even notice differences in their personalities. As long as we don't disturb them, the mother doesn't seem to mind us coming or going.
