This anxious mommy is feeding two little hatchlings nestled inside the “a” of the US Bank sign on the front of the Arrowhead Plaza branch. With a great view of the capitol and the rising sun, these nests also were perfect for riding out the storms this weekend. I originally saw these while out on a date with my lovely wife Friday night before the aforementioned storm (we LOVE the Walrus). Obviously I didn’t take my camera on such an occasion, so I caught these birds playing the following morning.
US Bank isn’t the only business whose sign provides such hospitality to the birdies. I think this ampersand may be part of the Arrowhead Cleaners sign, but I don’t remember. Looks cozy, doesn’t it?
This little fella is hanging out in front of the fitness center. No need for a membership when you live there! It’s nice that these birds have found such a secure place to nest; otherwise they might be homeless, after the blustery weather we’ve been having.
I don’t have any birds nestling above my motion sensors on my house or garage this year, since the upgraded ones are too small to support a nest. I do, however, have some great pictures and video of last year’s robins feeding their babies! I should dig those up and post them; I don’t think I ever got around to it last spring.
