* Shhh ! *

A small bird had made a nest directly above my front door. It really
startled me at first because she would freak out and fly off every time I
came home. Later she would just peek over the side of the nest and watch me. I
talked to her but she would just sit up there and stare at me.
    She was gone one evening so I peeked up and into the nest. Don't worry,
I didn't touch anything. I got a few pictures of this baby hatchling and
what appeared to be four un-hatched eggs.
    I'm not sure what type of bird this was. She's pretty small but I
never seen her outside of the nest very clearly.
