Our babies are gone....

Birds that is....If you will remember my previous post about the bird's nest in our papa bear bush in the backyard, you will enjoy the ending of the story......Here is a picture of them just days after they were born. As cute as they are, I continue to be amazed at how loud they are....during their "growing up" period, we had our windows open almost every day, and they were constantly screeching for more food. No wonder they grew up so fast. Here they are thinking that mom is going to drop food into their mouth only to be disappointed by the click of a camera...I was really shocked at how wide they could get their mouthes open....crazy eh?
These guys were quite the entertainers for us for a few days anyway.
can you see the baby bird running away? Off they went to be seen no more. I know there are a lot of new baby birds in the yards around us because I can still hear that annoying screeching almost every time I go outside.
So, when you hear the annoying screeching outside, know that it is new life begging for food....and new birds to poop on our cars :)

Our babies hatched today! After TEN years of having a bird house on our front porch, some little House Wrens decided to build a nest and she laid 4 eggs... not sure how many babies we have (it's pretty dark in there!) but they are OUT! We are all excited for the screaching to begin! Our cats are BESIDE themselves, which really is not a good thing!
