The nest

Two small birds--I can't tell what kind, I'm bad with birds' names--built a nest in the rain duct on our porch. We saw them flying around and chirping loudly, before we realized they made our home their home too. At first I was going to take the nest down, then one of the birds landed on the roof near it, with a straw in it's little beak, and looked at us nervously. All it would take is for me to get a stick, and all their effort in homemaking would be destroyed. I thought how excited we were when we moved into the house and thought that, maybe, they feel the bird's equivalent of that excitement. So, we decided to let them be. But, only until Fall.
