Our Birds' Nest

We have a bird's nest! A couple of years ago, I got very enamoured with feeding birds and had many bird feeders in our yard (at the old house). I also bought this bird box which we never installed in the yard and ended up moving with us to the apartment and now to this house. The other day Chris saw that it would sit just fine on a fence post. I scoffed and explained how birds will only live where it is very quiet and high up, away from noise and other animals. This fence post is at the top of our driveway where we drive every day and open the garage door, it borders our neighbor's yard where a loud, barking dog lives, and it is right at an intersection of a squirrel highway. No way would birds take up residence there.
After dinner as we were leaving on a walk, Chris checked the bird box and found a nest with eggs! I actually thought he was teasing me when he told me to go look inside.

Honey, you were right!
