Welcome to the thoughts and photos of FLYDDW. Texas, New Jersey, and Arizona living.

Our patio in the back came with two lights.  I long time ago, I removed the lights and replaced them with ceiling fans and light kit.

During the summer, I noticed something blocking the light at nighttime.  On other occasions I find a bird waiting in the trees in the backyard, till we leave the porch.

Then the bird flies to the fan.

One day, I stuck my camera on a tripod, set it to timer (delay), took this picture.

They were VERY close to the bulbs, and I worried that one day, we'd accidentally leave the light on, and they would cook.

Well, one day we did (overnight).  When I checked the fan, the birds were gone.  I guess the mother bird knew it was not a good place, and moved them.  Or, they got big enough to fly away.
