I have baby birdies

[trickykitty]

Some tiny sparrows have managed to make a nest just behind a piece of siding that's under my bedroom window sill. All I hear every 5 minutes is tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet. At least they are more or less faint, so they are not an annoyance. They can just barely open their eyes, but for the most part keep them closed still.

The yellow in the pics are from the sides of their beaks, so seeing two yellow kind of lined up with black in between is the full beak, like in this pic.


The window sill and pulled back siding:


Babies!

Is there any way I could convince you to post pics behind a cut? I have no idea why, but for some reason every time you post a picture it's distorted and smeared all down the page, resulting in incredibly long scrolldowns before I can see the rest of your post or anything else on my DW Reading page. I know this is iPhone-related, because it doesn't happen when I'm on my PC, but it happens on my iPhone EVERY. TIME.

Oh wow - sure thing. I already try to make sure pics are sized to not overpower the screen on the computer. I use the height=XX% and width=XX% to get it down in size. Maybe that part of the html is messing with the phone browser?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

EEE!

They look so tiny now.Are the parents much larger?

Nope

Maybe 3 inches long, if that.

The bird, in this case, is indeed the word.

Every year we have a pair of swifts make a nest under the overhang on our front porch. I have to warn guests about the birds, cuz we're not making them move.

Yeah, these guys will get to camp out there for the spring, but we'll have to fix the siding to prevent wood rot once they've flown away.
