I am waiting for it to be a little warmer, so I can sneak a pic of the baby birdies.  I don't want her to leave right now, because it's a little chilly today.  Sawdust took some pics last night, but they're a wee bit fuzzy.  THEY ARE SO CUTE !!!!!!!!

It was so exciting. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]   I have been so worried about disturbing them, that I really hadn't seen them much.  Of course Michel has a zoom on his camera so big, that he stood in the neighbours yard to get the pic. (ok....not really.....but almost)  It looks like there are only two babies....and I'm pretty sure there were three.  Anyways....I'm thrilled to have a Michel pic of them.

OMG !  We just went out and had a little peek at the babies.  I had thought there were 3 in the beginning.....and then I was sure there were only two remaining......but alas......#3 is still there.  They are all sleeping peacefully.  They have got little teeny wings now with real feathers replacing the down.

  Updated pic to come.  (not as good as Michel's.....but a pic none the less)

Yup....they fly already.  Mr. Sawdust saw them on his way back from the shop yesterday.  He said they flew straight and well. (pheww!)  We were going to rig something up to catch any failed flight attempts from the beast....but apparently they don't need it.

I think pictures are doubtful at this point.  They move very fast and sudden.....but I'm going to try today. I wonder how long they will come back to the nest now that they have flown.

I'm thinking so Michel......must be getting a little crowded in that teeny tiny nest.

  Several years back, 'THE BIG TREE' had a large branch that came down across the kitchen window......and there was a humming bird nest on it.  I was so excited to have a front row seat at this event.  I watched for weeks waiting and waiting to see a baby humming bird......but never did.  They were there.....but they were so selective of their flight times, that we never saw a thing.

It was amazing how tiny their nest was.  Makes the one we have there now look like a condominium.

There were 4 eggs....each one smaller than my baby-fingernail.  THAT would have been something to see.  It was such an odd place for a nest, as the branch was long and had a lot of motion in the slightest breeze.  Mysterious little creatures.

  Hopefully I will catch a pic today.

  Yes....I worry about him becoming a yard snack.  It would be pretty bold for a cougar to come right up onto the hot-tub.....which is where he lazes most of the time.
