The nest above the patio door is empty! The three babies hatched, and the mother and father birds were busy carrying insects to them - what a job! Ron took this picture this morning, and it was just in time, because this afternoon, we were sitting at the table on the patio, and the biggest baby (the one in front) staggered to the edge of the nest and did a wavy flight to the Ponderosa pine by the basketball standard. In just a little while, the other two were gone - now the parents can take a little vacation.

what great timing! Aren't you glad that you were watching and paying attention. These big events generally go unnoticed. We just look one day and they are gone!
