They look so lonely up there in the naked trees 🙂
But there’s a reassuring permanence about them at the same time. When spring comes, these nests will be here to shelter baby songbirds again, as they have for several years now. Just another couple of houses in our neighborhood with families whose kids grow up and leave the nest too soon!
About Katherine Wikoff
I am a college professor (PhD in English, concentration rhetoric) at Milwaukee School of Engineering, where I teach film and media studies, political science, digital society, digital storytelling, writing for digital media, and communication. While fragments of my teaching and scholarship interests may quite naturally meander over to my blog, this space is intended to function as a creative outlet, not as part of my professional practice. Opinions are my own, etc.

I feed birds and squirrels all year. They add so much joy to life.

I agree. Almost every week I notice (and learn) something new about their behavior. It sort of gives me a sense of perspective on the world. Deeper roots.
