Posted by pdcjd on 6/27/05

how i was able to get so close was that they are on my front
porch right next to my front door. we stopped using the front
door so as not to disturbe the nest. when discovered we counted
the eggs and have kept a close eye on them due to the cats
running loose in the neighbor hood. protective yes nosy no. but
we have seen the mom coming and going so they are going to be
just fine i believe.
