We have managed to control our curiosity fairly well over the past week or so, just venturing a cracked-door peek every other day. But tonight, we opened the shed door all the way to see how things were going. The sound caused five little beaks to open up in anticipation of dinner, with a chorus of tiny cheeps. Mama bird was apparently at the grocery store. I tried to get some pictures, but my camera was just not cooperating for some reason—even the best picture I took turned out fuzzier than the little birds themselves. You can still make out some beaks, though. I’ll post it if I can force my stubborn computer to download the pix.
UPDATE, 21 June, by McGehee: Chris finally managed to get a picture with her phone that is bloggable:
‘Nother update: The nestlings appear to have all left the nest, and last night we could find no sign of them in the shed. They may have followed their parents outside and be hiding in the shrubbery in one of our tree islands until they’re able to fly.
