built a nest in a wreath on my front door! We moved the wreath off the door and to the side hoping we won't keep moving it every time we open the door. I looked and there's one egg for now.
-------------------------------------
The babies are born! 4 total I think. I saw one egg still there on last check and thought it might not hatch. But now there's a snuggly pile of babies. I did put pillows under the nest and so far, so good.

(18,219 posts)from building a nest in a bad spot. At this time of year, they try to nest close to the doors, but they will not be happy when summer gets here and I am opening those doors all the time. I had to keep knocking the nests down before they even get started several times to encourage them to move. I can't blame them, the porch light under the awning really is a great spot.
