5-6 day old birdies

5-6 day old birdies

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

Surprise for us when we checked in after school...12 days old and they have left the nest!!!  It's bitter"tweet" for us since we have thoroughly enjoyed them and the experience, but we know that God's plan for them is to fly and be free and explore as far as their little wings will take them.  
At least we saw them early this morning and touched their soft little feathers, not knowing at the time that it could be the last.   We saw the Momma flitting around from roof to fence chirping.  We're pretty sure we spotted one of the baby birds practicing his flying from shrub to shrub.  We're hoping they will return to the nest at night so we can see them once again.....

  2. Your first experience with empty nest syndrome :)

    Well...Have they returned??? The waiting is killing me! I can't believe they left already. They grow up so fast!
