Home Sweet Bag

While this might look like an ordinary bag of bulb food sitting on a shelf in our garage, it turns out to be the home of a small bird of some sort (wren, maybe? I don't recognize it).

Amy discovered the "mom in residence" a couple of weeks ago; the bird flew out of the bag while Amy was placing some gardening stuff onto the shelf. I think both Amy and bird were startled. Lydia got the bag down briefly afterwards and looked inside-- we saw nest and eggs, then I made her quickly put the bag back up on the shelf.

Since then we've been careful not to shut the garage door, and I've done my best to avoid making a lot of fuss inside the garage. Wondering when the baby birds will start to emerge...
