Small Bird nest....... PIC

I have been watching a sparrow going in and out of a vine trellis by the side of the house. I grabbed my camera and caught this picture of the nest with three eggs in it. It was really interesting how the nest was situated where the leaves almost completely cover it for protection.
I will be keeping an eye on the progress…… Hopefully Martha will not notice them..

One time a sparrow built a nest on my porch, up on the table in the corner. I built a barricade of tables and chairs, at the top of the steps, to keep Mrs. Grey the cat out. When the birds were 2 days old, Mrs. Grey broke in and ate all 3 of them. Mother Nature is cruel.
A Canadian Goose decided my old 1972 Chev K20 was not being used to it potential, and built a nest with 6 eggs on the hood. Wind storm blew the nest and eggs off on the ground.
Damm forneriers.

Took down a oak tree that had a humming bird nest. Like a thimble. Cut the branch off and gave it to a school teacher.
Seen some solid Blue eggs that fell from a high in the tree Blue Jay next few days ago.
Seen some Brown headed cowbirds in the vicinity. Suspect they may have laid their eggs in the Blue Jays nest after tossing out some of the Jays eggs.
Suspect them Brown cow birds are Democrats and Bernie supporters.
