Odd nesting sites

Found this today on my daughters front door ? This is the wreath she has on her door .

When I went to open it today a bird came from it and almost flew right in my face .

This was in the very top . It's a chipping sparrow.

That's cool, and it never ceases to amaze me where birds think a good place to build a nest is. I've had a swallow sleeping in my garage all spring. It's not building a nest, and I'm pretty sure it just wants a warm place to sleep at night. Birds aren't so dumb I guess.

Well the little guys hanging on the door hatched . We were down there yesterday . It was fun sitting on the deck watching the two parents scold anyone that came by the door . Watched them feed them from inside , they would fly down on the deck railing and come back with something to feed them , I went out and looked and a bunch of winged ants were crawling all over 10' from there next , pretty easy pickings there.

Very cool pictures! One day Ill get one of those bird houses you can stick on your window and see in but the birds can't see you.

Found another odd ball spot for a nest while doing that roof yesterday . It is some kind of flycatcher I believe .

Here is the eave they are under .


Here is the nest and little ones .

Update on the nest on my daughters door , they grew fast and right after I took this pic they flew the coop ! I went back down later and the male and female were feeding one under their deck .

Very cool pics!  It's no wonder they flew the coop....looks to me like they didn't have enough room to remain...
