Spring Time Babies on the Way

House Sparrow
passer domesticus 

Well, you can see why this little beauty 
is called a "house" sparrow, can't you?
He and his wee wifey have  built a snug nest
 inside the hole in our eave.
Pieces of their building material 
keep falling onto our back steps.
Oh well, they won't be there long. 

I don't know if they have eggs in the nest yet. 
I suppose they do, but I haven't climbed 
up an extension ladder to check.

Once the babies leave the nest, 
the momma and daddy will go on their way,
 and I won't have to sweep up straw 
on my back steps until next spring.
