Day 6: They're growing!

It's getting crowded in there.  The birds are climbing over each other in that little space

This is amazing:  face to face with a baby bird!

Day 4: The birds are definitely looking more like preteens and less like pink babies

They're already spreading their wings

I think this little one is the oldest.  I've decided to name her Brunhilde

Here's Brunhilde with her brother Algernon

Day 3 of the bird watch.  Feathers!
Notice how one of them can roll over already.
Talk about growing up fast

My little birdie nieces and nephews are growing up so fast!  Here are some more photos

I'm a birdie aunt!  We've got a little family in our front yard.  Not sure what species they are, but they're tiny!

Here' one little guy

Here he is with his siblings

Here's the house they live in

Here's their tree.  House is on far left

They grow up so fast!

Would you believe that the little fellow on the right is graduating high school and will be off to college next fall?  I remember holding him in my arms when he was a month old!    I remember his first birthday party!  I remember making up silly songs for him. I remember when he graduated from nursery school.  And now he's a young man!

It has impressed on me once again of enjoying and savoring the moments with one's nephews and nieces while you can, before they grow up and have their own nieces and nephews.

They get older

A few days ago I visited my godson in Vermont. I can remember him when he was an infant strapped to him mother's chest. A little bit of a thing who cried when I tried to babysit him. Now he's a teenager with a deep voice! It's strange, almost as if there were two different people: the little one of my memory and the young man of reality.
