I swear the nest went up so fast, they must have gotten it from a pre-fab nest place!nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-15195928922182776922013-06-15T09:30:36.789-04:002013-06-15T09:30:36.789-04:00Beautiful birds!
