A bird's nest in my clematis vine nearly dislodged the tendrils from the trellis today. I was forced to secure the vine to the trellis with a pair of my mother's old pantyhose. Perhaps a wren contributed the smaller blue egg and a sparrow added the larger brown egg. Whoever the poor parent is, he or she could not sit on the nest today; With winds gusting to 40 miles per hour, warming the eggs would have been hazardous to the bird as the vine that the nest was concealed in sailed to and fro madly on the breeze.
