Orioles Nesting



DH and I go to the local Sonic a couple of times a week for lunch and usually try to get there about the same time of day so we can park where we can watch the traffic (and the progress of the Chicken Express they are building next door). A couple of weeks ago we noticed a beautiful Oriole flying around and landing in the small landscaping tree in front of us. Then we realized that she was picking up small pieces of paper and bits of string... she was building a nest in the tiny tree! Well, her eggs have hatched! Right there in one of the busiest places in town! We are waiting for their fledgling flight since we have no idea how many chicks she has.
I guess it just goes to show... home can be anywhere the heart is!
