Oh, So Sad

Every year we have a little bird that makes a nest on the keystone above our front door, and she lays her eggs there. It's such a mess because they do their business right there on our door...good thing not many of our guests use the front door! Anyway, she came back this year and made her new nest. Well, I went outside yesterday and noticed the nest had fallen down. Jeff asked me later if I saw any broken eggs, but when I had just glanced, I didn't see any. So I looked out there again last night, and there were four tiny dead birds. It was so sad. They are so freakin' tiny, like the size of a quarter, with just a little fuzz and little beaks. It broke my heart, and I wondered if the Mama bird was sad too.
