the babies

I spent the weekend at the house in Niagara Falls. The stoic mama bird has been sitting on her eggs for a few weeks.
Finally her little family arrived and here they are. We snapped the picture while she was out getting worms for food. We've been watching her feed them. The mercury is dipping to an unseasonable 30 degrees tonight. Her warm body keeps them warm as they are virtually hairless. Nature is incredible!
