Early in the morning, while everyone else sleeps, I am up absorbing, observing and cherishing the simple beauty of it all....
Then I begin the simple task of watching two little birds building their nest. As I wander around the poolside, I pick up pieces of string here and there and place it in the sand for them to use, hoping it will solidly their home.
They actually used it!!! I was so tickled to see that it came in handy. Nest Building 101. Who would have thought?

Love this! Last time we were in Bermuda I fed the local stray cats milk from our breakfast. I wanted to take one home.
ReplyDeleteThere is something wonderful about early morning time when on a tropical vacation, isn't there? I do the same thing -
Pretty bird!
ReplyDeletemy post on Madsnapper today was about wandering around looking at things just like you are doing. that is cool they used your material to build with. baby is back today also
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story. Lovely to know you will have helped those babies have a cosy home. :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool...subcontracting a bird nest. Co-operation between the species. I can just hear them, two or three years down the road, twittering to their grandchildren about the time the big two legged things helped them build their nest.
ReplyDeleteAnd you got a picture!!!! I've heard that birds will even use dryer lint.
ReplyDeleteHave fun soaking all that up :)
how sweet of you to help them gather materials... :)
ReplyDeleteI love that they used the string you gathered for them! What fun!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you poor baby having to suffer there - teehee. What fun and beauty there is there. Glad you are having a nice time.

You are for the birds...LOL
ReplyDeleteI've done the same thing with the little ends of yarn I snip off my crochet projects when I finish them. It is so much fun to find a nest with bright colored yarn woven into it.
