Sharing the Yard with Mommy Bird and Baby Birds

While playing ball outside it was recently discovered that in our tree we have a bird's nest with some very vocal chicks. So... when they get really loud, Ruby decides that she is done playing with the ball and wants to try and find the mommy and baby chicks.

Ruby really gets interested in the birds too. She could be across the yard and in the process of running for the ball, will stop, face the tree, and sometimes run to the tree as soon as she hears some chirps.

The nest is up too high for her to get it, but it is still fun seeing her jump trying to get it anyway.
