Yep ... and I'm so curious to know how many are in the nest. I'm worried that a snake or crow will get them; we've had lots of crows this year and snakes are around too.
A couple of weeks ago my next door neighbor called me over to ask me if I possibly knew what the little bird egg was on top of her fence post. It was a Mockingbird egg and it was broken with the yolk running down the fence. I showed her a mockingbird nest in the shrubbery near her gate and told her it was probably a crow that got the egg and dropped it when the adults were chasing it away. I see the Mockers chasing crows almost daily! A couple of days later I had a message on my answering machine from the same neighbor telling me a huge black snake was in her backyard and the birds were dive bombing it and she didn't know why. I called her back to tell her that the birds were protecting their nests. I sure hope a snake doesn't get to the ones in my yard ... I will be watching for any signs of them and hopefully get my husband to relocate any snake that appears!
