Every spring a couple of black birds -- starlings? -- build a nest in the upper corner of my porch. Last year we heard chirping, and then nothing, and no little birds appeared. Not a good year. The year before we saw 2 baby bird heads squawking out the window. This year the parents are back, bringing straw and weeds into the hole, making a nest.
Any building project needs a supervisor, and my cat Sophie is a good one. She supervises any work around the house, for example, watching the painter and then inspecting the finished job. She woke me out of a sound sleep at 5 a.m. one morning because the toilet was running....And she takes a keen interest in the bird project. (I retrieved the plaster cat from someone's garbage and she has reigned on the porch ever since. I waited years for Sophie to pose with her plaster doppelganger...)
She posed long enough for me to get a few shots and then...enough already.
These are great, Mary ann. She sure seems focused on those birds! She has the most intent expressions. :)
