The weather outside is frightful...

Well, the weather may be frightful, but it certainly didn't stop our feathery friends from stopping by for a visit. We've had severe weather for the past 2 days with hail (thankfully we didn't get it at our house, but just a few miles away they did) and flash flooding. It's not been fun. North of us, they were expecting even possible tornadoes. Didn't hear of any officially, but there was a report of a roof removed due to high winds.

Our Robin has been making her visits to her nest and is getting more used to us being around and she doesn't seem to mind as much that we're around. We're trying to keep our distance to not disturb her too much, but I do need to get to our herbs on the deck.

I've lumped 2 video clips together to get a sense of where she is in relation to us. Why she chose our deck and a potted plant of all things to build her nest in, I have no idea. She seemed quite content to nest in the pouring rain. You will also see the huge amount of flooding that we had in our flood plain. The birds have been feasting all morning long...
