Spotting Nests

The other day I parked in the Whole Foods parking lot, something I do at least a few times a week, and I looked up. In the tree planted in the median, there was a little nest. I saw it and instantly had a feeling I was a guest in the little bird's home. As I started walking towards the store front, I saw another nest, and then another. When I drove out of the lot, I looked around and saw maybe three more little nests, tucked into the nooks and crannies of the locust and pear trees. It was a wonder that I had never seen those nests before. I had to stop and consider what else in plain sight am I not seeing? Maybe consider what you might be missing.

I'll be sure to keep an eye on these nests into the spring, and hope to get a glimpse of a little blue egg.
