A Hidden Bird's Nest

Look what I found in the wisteria ! If you look to the far right of the porch - this little bird's nest is under the eve at the end, and from the porch side of the house. I had to get a mirror to look into the nest, because of the way the protective little mamma bird hid the nest. I think there are at least 5 eggs in the nest - they are the prettiest shade of light blue - with a little speckled ring around the middle of them. I haven't seen the mamma bird going into the nest, so I don't know what kind of bird's eggs these are - even if I did see her, I still probably wouldn't know what kind of bird it is !! And, I hope I didn't disturb her and she is able to hatch the babies. I'll have to check back on it in a little while and listen to see if I hear any little peeps before I climb up there again with my mirror. Good thing she put the nest way up high there, DC and PR love to go out the front door whenever I open it and I know they would just terrorize her (or maybe she would terrorize them !). If I get to see the babies, I'll try to get some more pictures posted.
