The Miracle of Nature: They Are Born!

 A little five-year-old visitor, whose imagination is absolutely magical, tells all kinds of stories from his head and heart.

He spins some whoppers in  a way one even wonders how such a little fellow can come up with the story lines!

              (Mama bird covers her new babies with fluff when she goes off to find food.)

 Well, wouldn't you know it, he told me one about a creative Mother birdie who built a nest in the grapevine wreath that hangs on the back porch.

As he told me about the nest inside the wreath, he capped off the tale with the fact there were eggs inside the nest.

"Really?,"  I asked. "What color are they?"

"White," he answered.

Well, if ever there was a monkey's uncle (or aunt), I became one that afternoon when, going on to the back porch, a glance at the wreath, revealed a real bird's nest nestled inside.

 There sat five perfect white birds' eggs!

My little friend's story was real.

And now the eggs have hatched and baby birds wait anxiously for their Mama to feed them.

 From now on, I'll pay extra special attention to his stories.

What kind of bird created the nest and eggs remains a mystery. 

Could it have been, perhaps, a wren?
