Eggs in the nest

Peter spotted a nest in the "old rhubarb" patch.  Alerted by a really pissed-off bird, he knew something was near by...and he was right!

When asked what kind of bird was nesting, Peter said it was a "shpock", which apparently is a Ukranian term for generic, little, black bird. Helpful.

Aunt Julia was called in for a consultation.  She will be researching it in her bird watching manual and will submit her findings when she gets around to it.

Photo is from a few days ago.  Egg count is up to five as of yesterday (excursion during Dexter's birthday festivities).  We'll keep you posted live occasionally from the nest.

Dexter will also be updating you on the state of the dandelion fluff, which is clearly more interesting anyway. 

Stay tuned!
