We were outside trimming one of our Fire Thorn shrubs this evening. We generally trim them back before winter every year. Charles was getting the higher branches that I could not reach and found this nest.
No bird in sight so I took the opportunity to get some photos without disturbing the nest. I did hunt for something to identify the eggs and found a chart. It looks like a Song Sparrow to me. We have seen several Sparrows over the summer.
It seems a little late in the year for eggs to still be in the nest. We were careful not to disturb it or remove branches too close to it. I will keep an eye out to see if there is any sign of the mama bird. It is very close to the bird bath I set out for them this spring.
