You know, I just had a remarkable thought about that nest. A few years ago, I also had the same kind of nest with 3 tiny little eggs. They hatched and in the middle of the night, there was a horrid sound of birds fighting, screaming that woke me from sleep....it's at the front door right under my bedroom window.
I went out and was horrified to see a blue-jay had taken all the babies, destroyed much of the nest, feathers everywhere so mom and dad and others were involved. It has taken me years to get over my horror of that experience and the loss of the babies.
Just last week, I had the huge blue-jay feeding on my window! He just got here and the mess in the mailbox is too much for just the little finch mom. They must have been destroyed by that darn jay! Now, brings back bad memories and sadness and I'm mad at the jay....may be innocent, but don't think jays ever are.
Pooh!
Pooh! Do I leave the nest? Nope, think with the mess it needs to go. I may eat the blue-jay, with no clear evidence!
Well, that's my day at the window and front door. Think I'm going to relax, meditate, think only good and go to bed soon. Bless everyone. elizabeth
