Summer & Winter ...
As the seasons are predictable, so are the Martins that return each year to raise their little ones in this birdhouse on our deck. As you can see through the glass in the sun-room, their home is just beyond our table. For the past 5 years, families have taken up residence, raised their little ones and we have had the privilege to watch this cycle of life. The adults fly back and forth bringing in their nesting materials. Then one day, we start hearing chirping coming from the holes. Soon after that, there are two little heads poking out of each hole, looking for Mommy bird to bring their food. After about two weeks, mommy birds brings less and less food, and more and more squawking goes one. Then one day, the nest is empty. The cycle is complete .... only to begin again next year. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ......
