The Nest

Just my luck. I go away for a week or so on "vacation" and these little birdies who have been under my protection for longer than I can remember hatch out and move away.

Drats! I began watching this bird house two years ago. No action. No tenants. No nothing. Then I see and hear these little noisy chirpers flying all around the deck at all hours and what do I know, I just thought they were excited about eating bugs or something or whatever it is they do for fun. So I go away for a week and the night I come back there are a bunch of them hanging out tweeting and twittering and bouncing around and I think what the hell is going on I'm trying to take a nap and then, lo and behold, gone without a trace.

Am I unlucky or what? Poor me. Where are my little feathered friends? Come back, little birdies. I will look out for you. I promise.
