My wife is pointing at the nest location.
I discovered the new eggs on 7/11/08. They were at most a couple of days old.
This is mama on the nest on 7/11/08

A couple of hungry babies on 7/20/08
Growing more feathers and beginning to get crowded in there. 7/24/08

Starting to overlap the nest. 8/01/08
Getting very close to leaving time. My wife's finger pointing to the nest give a little size perspective. 8/03/08
One is already gone. 8/04/08
You can't really see, but it is sitting on the edge of the nest. 8/04/08
It's morning on 8/05/08 and they are gone. Mama kept buzzing my head as I took this. Probably out of habit.
The quarter is for size comparison.
