A bird's nest!

Outside of our bay window in the front, a cardinal has decided to build her nest in our rhododendren. And lucky for us, the nest is nestled towards the back of the bush close to our bay window! The nest's location couldn't be any more ideal; the leaves of the branches above will protect her (and we hope, her young!) from the elements and apparently, from human eyes as we can't tell if there are eggs in the nest yet or not. We can't see the bottom of the nest!

It took her about a week to build it, and we're hoping that our normal activity doesn't scare her away. She dropped by today while we were in the living room, so we know she hasn't abandoned it yet....
