So, I noticed every time I mow a back park of my lawn, a bird flies away. Well, yesterday, I carefully looked. There's a little bird's nest, with three tiny eggs.

And noticed a big spider whilst, rolling. I thought, well, the birds will be eating good. Then wondered why the spider was running away as its home was being rolled across the lawn. Then noticed a near by egg sack. So, in feeling paternal, and that even mother spiders love their babies (before they eat them?), I had the spider side away from the bird nest, and put a piece of bark to cover the spider nest.
