The babies are 10 days old now, and have increased in size enormously. They should be in the nest for another 10 days before they can fly. When I arrived the pair were sitting with beaks up, and no mother in sight. Then a squeak and she appeared on the nest. A quick feed and then she was gone. One baby got up and stretched, then they went back to their repose with beaks up.
momma arrives
baby stands up for a stretch and a look around
hey, there’s a world out there
back to sleep again
How did you find the nest???
I saw the mother fly to it! Luck, mostly, and a little bit of intuition.
Peeps! 😀
