Day 43

Another nest found in the backyard, this
time by my daughter. It's so nice that she and
my grandson are always on the look-out to see if
they can find me interesting subject matter to paint.
This nest was so well made - very soft, and made
almost entirely of the same type of grasses.
I need to do some investigation to see what
bird would create a nest like this - I am sure
that it wouldn't look anything like these three
roomates.
Do any of you know?

Day 40

Found this little nest in my yard after a
particularly gusty thunderstorm. It always
makes me a little sad to find that
a nest has been blown out of a
tree - the birds work so hard to make their
homes. The eggs are from my stash in
my studio - they are the most authenitic-looking
eggs I have been able to find!
