Blackbird's nest right outside my window, an hour ago.
There's currently at least one egg in there and I hope to take pictures of the little ones soon.

Update: another hour later, the baby bird has hatched - no photos yet.

Redstart fledgling on my window sill last June

21:30 I had a chance of seeing into the nest: 1 baby bird and one remaining egg (sorry for the blurry picture, lighting was poor).
Baby was moving and mother was back after a minute or two.

very freaking cool

Managed a clearer photo today from the upstairs window.

Wow, grown a lot from egg size. I wonder if his unhatched brother will ever catch up?

Keeping w/the birdy babies theme of late...A few years ago my mother stuck a "birdhouse" on the support pole for her carport. This is a purely decorative birdhouse, not intended for real habitation. This spring, for some reason, a pair of tree swallows thought this was the perfect place to raise their young. Three, we think, but I can't get them all in a pic w/their heads poking out.

that is just so...cute!

you could make that into some sort of "cheer up, ya old fucker" kind of card.

7 days old now

Did the other one ever hatch?

Big brother probably ate it right out of the shell. I mean, the thing does look kinda reptilian.

I don't think #2 ever made it

Some friends of ours were going away for the weekend, and they asked if we would be willing to watch their chrysalises. They thought that one of them was just about ready to hatch into a butterfly (I forget which kind) and they wanted us to release the butterfly after it hatched.

So on Sunday morning, which happened to be my daughter's birthday, she woke up and checked the little butterfly cage. One of them had hatched. We took it outside and opened the cage. It walked out onto this leaf. We checked on it every once in a while, but missed it when it finally flew off (or was eaten) a couple hours later.

Very nice! Good timing too - being her B-day and all.

Excellent shot. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
