A little birdie told me

Our backyard family has grown by three! This picture of Mama bird feeding her little ones was taken on 5-2-09. We believe they hatched some time that early morning. Happy Birthday!



In just a few days they have changed alot. They now have feathers and look more like real birds instead of strange featherless creatures with beaks. One of them likes to sleep on its back with it's beak open.



I think Mama bird is getting used to me being around and taking pictures of her babies. She sat quietly and patiently in a nearby tree as I visited the nest today. She no longer tries to attack me.

We recently tilled our garden so she and her little ones have lots of fresh big healthy worms to eat! Enjoy!
