Ahh ... sweet spring, the time for new beginnings, renewal and hope.

Meet the newest family of the White House - a red-breasted mama robin and her chicks. 

She's made her home in the bushes right outside the White House briefing room. 

The birds seem oblivious to their hugely high-traffic and high-powered location, where reporters come and go at all hours and camera crews traipse past.

Nice.  This am, I saw on TV, a momma duck and her brood on the White House grounds too.  Maybe the 'vibrations' have changed.

Thanks for checking out this video.  I thought it was so cute I had to share.  It's like a whole new life being breathed into the White House, isn't it?

Sweet story, Blue Crush. 

I think one of the WH press corp members was tracking the bird last week which the nest was being built.
