The Nest

This is a series of photos I took a year ago.

I walked out the back door one morning and found a birds nest on the pathway.

We have a lot of a small birds called Black Phoebes in the neighborhood and this may well have belonged to a nesting pair. 

I don't know the story. Had the chicks survived and flown on, or had the nest come down early with less happy results? 

In any case, I found the thing fascinating and it led to the following series of images...

I hope you find them as compelling as I do.
