Shadow got in a rose bush. And I found a strange beehive.

It was cute, everything she does is cute, but an angry bird didn't think it was so cute.

I noticed both cats, Shadow and Buddy, were hanging out by the rose bush. I wondered why. So I went over to check, and noticed there was a bird in the cypress tree that I couldn't see, chattering and squawking.

Buddy was sitting regally on the fence, but where was Shadow? Oh, there she was, in the rosebush. And not only that, she was sitting in a bird's nest, likely the nest of the bird squawking angrily in the tree.

The bird's nest she was sitting in, with eggs (blue eggs with goldish brown spots)
My mom thought these were blue jay eggs, which makes sense, I see a lot of them.

Here's Prince Buddy, looking princely.

Later that day I took a walk on the levee. While I was up there, I found the strangest beehive. It was in a mobile crane. A little online research tells me this part might be called the "boom head".

Sorry for the uglyish pictures— here's a close-up of the bees.
