The eggs are hatching. We were so excited to see the little babies. Minutes before I took this picture there were two babies in the nest. Not sure what happened to the other one - but I ran inside to get my camera, came back out, and only one baby was there. One more egg to go.
Unfortunately, this is the morning of the big wind storm (below pics) and so the next day, we discovered that the Mama bird and baby abandoned her nest (and hopefully to take cover for her new babies). She still has not returned, and there is still one egg left to hatch, or not. Samantha will not let us do anything with the egg because she is convinced Mama Bird will return to retrieve her egg. We might have to help the Mama bird get her egg (if you know what I mean) so that we can put an end to this mystery. :o) And we never did see the 2nd baby again. This was a fun experience for the kids to watch and monitor the nest daily. We are now always searching for more nests around our house.
