Hatchlings

As of yesterday afternoon, the nest is three eggs short and three birds long. It is absolutely amazing to me that almost immediately after they hatched, they started seeking food from their mama and papa. My heart jumps every time one of the little heads wobbles uncertainly but then points to the sky and the beak cranes wide open.

Nature! In my own back yard!

Charlie points and says, "Nest!"

I am amazed at how a hatchlings mouth is the basically the same size of its head.
