Good news! We recently discovered that we have a nest of baby birds! 
The bad news is that the mommy bird chose poorly on the location for her nest. I could see how it is deceiving. It LOOKS like a cozy little nook, but it's actually inside the storm drains on our roof. Yep. "Doh" is the word you're looking for.
Of course, Ellie wasn't satisfied with the pictures on the camera and she asked Daddy VERY nicely if he could help her see the baby birds. He's such a good daddy.
Afterwards, Ellie and I spent a good amount of time sitting and watching Mommy bird bring food to her hungry babies:
Ellie: What she doing?
Mommy: She's feeding her babies. They're very hungry.
Ellie: Oh. Where she going now?
Mommy: She's getting more food for her babies.
Ellie: Because they eat a lot?
Mommy: Yep. They eat lots and lots of bugs.
Ellie: Is da mommy bird going to the bug store?
Mommy: Yep.
Ellie: To get bugs for her babies because they're ree-a ree-a hungry!

Adorable! And they'll keep the bugs down too!
The birds will be safe there as long as you have fowl weather.
Sorry, had to say it.
How cute. Love those little ones.
To Edwin and Reed - ha! Thanks for the chuckle.
I've made a number of birdhouses for the yard in Bowie, but the ungrateful jerks turn up their beaks at them and nest in flowerpots instead.
