Bird Nest in Sepia – Rainy Evening Forest Park, St. Louis

Nesting

A friend of mine at church came and told me that there were some birds in a nest at the base of a tree and that it might make quite a good picture. Upon going to have a look, the children said that before church they had seen some fledglings on the ground presumably having fallen from a nest and that after church a nest had been built up around them. I am not sure what to make of it. Perhaps the mother bird transported an already built nest down or built one quickly. And I was not sure if the bird on the right was the mother, but I do not think so. I felt a little bad that we were all standing over the birds gawking and taking pictures, but it was a rather too rare opportunity to pass up. These shots have a lomo effect on them.
