I went out this morning to check on the babies - to see if they had hatched and THIS is what greeted me. So sad... no more nest, no more babies. Not sure what got into it - there had been three eggs, only 1 was broken - the other two were still simi-in the nest. Sooooo sad!!
Poor momma bird - NOTHING left of the nest. I can't really tell what on earth happened to it - maybe a possum? We do have those around here... or a snake. Something decided it was dinner time.

Oh, that is a sad story! Nature can be harsh. But if all birds made it, we'd be knee deep in birds.
It's strange that the eggs weren't gone. A dove made a nest in a pot hanging in my friend's back yard. She was looking forward to the baby's hatching, but crows got to the nest. On second thought, I think the eggs had hatched and the crow got the babies. Even sadder, huh?
Love, Aunt T
yes, nature can be a bugger!
Nature is cruel, isn't it? So sad!
