For a few days, my husband and I were watching a bee’s nest right on our bedroom windowsill. Really he was doing the watching, he would yell, “MEL! Come and look at all these bees outside our window!” I would say… “Uh-huh, bees, that’s nice honey,” as I continued to sit here at the computer. I did get up and look a couple of times. Why they fascinated him so I couldn’t imagine. Then after several days he said… “MEL! COME HERE!” I said, “I’VE SEEN THE BEES, HONEY!”
He said “NO! COME NOW!” So I went to look out our bedroom window, and he’s looking not at the bees, but out the other side of the window at a bush there. “Oh, A BUSH! HOW NICE!,” I said, sarcastically. He said “NO, DUMMY, LOOK CLOSER!” This is what I saw:

Well what do you know, a bird’s nest. So we started watching it over the next couple of hours, zoomed the camera in a bit and we see this:

Hmmm, is that baby bird in there?

And a bit later:

Oh look, must be a baby in there. Theres mommy bird.

Zoom Zoom Zoom:

Is she feeding them?

UH OH SHE SAW ME!:

BACK OFF LADY!!!:

Ok, that was fun, but you know what would be more fun? Making Mike go outside with the camera to really get a good shot of the babies. So out he went. While he was out there trying to get some pics, 3 things happened. The mommy bird screeched and flew up into the tree. The daddy bird flew from the tree and started swooping over Mike’s head. The bees joined daddy bird. Me: “Don’t stop honey! Get at least 2 good pics of those baby birds!” LOL. I only wished I had a second camera to get a few pics of all THAT.
He didn’t stop:

OH! Forgot to mention, these are CARDINALS. We never could get a pic of the pretty red daddy bird, he was too pissed off.

Later I said to Mike, “Too bad we couldn’t have started watching when they were just eggs, If you hadn’t been so amazed at the bees you may have seen the nest sooner.”
“TRUE,” he replied, “but if I hadn’t seen the bees in the first place I never would have been just looking out the window to eventually see the birds.”
