 I'm so excited that I can watch her build her nest through my window from my rocking chair.
I watered the flowers last year from the bottom and gently at the side rim so they wouldn't wilt and protect her nest.

Thank you Krista and Judith!
I watched her all after noon,fly in and out with leaves and sticks and I left some soft small stings around hoping she would find them.

How cool is that and you have your rocker and a special place to set and watch her build her nest. Pretty flowers too Connie Sue.

I got a water globe for Mama Titmouse to keep the water below the nest, keeping the surface dryer.
I love this one, the top comes off no pulling it out of the soil to refill it.

That’s a wonderful solution Connie Sue, you’re a good caretaker of Mama Titmouse.

Oh Thank You Wanda Sue! I just love being able to see her fly into the flower stand from my Rocking chair.
I've kept the window down nearest her nest so the noise from the TV won't scare her.

How exciting! It's rather difficult to get their picture. I'm working on my bird badge and have deleted many photos of nothing when there was supposed to be a bird LOL! So thankful for digital pictures rather than wasting film :) How many babies are there?

Heather you are sooo right, better than wasting film!
I'm not sure yet, I haven't venture too close, the other day I watered the pot of pansies beside her pot as gently as I could, she flew out of her pot.
I'm afraid to lean in too close that she may fly into my head! Lol!!
