Home Sweet Home

This Starling has nested in the back of one of the lights over the parking lot at the local Community College. I was a little concerned that the lights might overheat the eggs but, as you can see, the hatchlings are growing well and near fledging.

...and we can see there is comfort inside, some straw
is coming out of the lamp... Animals are creative...
Superb shot.

A modern bird house. :) Great capture of mama feeding the babies in this unusual nesting spot. Well framed and photographed. V.
