Life Lesson

A few days ago, we found these new little friends in a bush just shy of our kitchen window.  We are assuming they belong to the cardinal couple who always spends time in the same area.  What a delight, rejoicing in new life.

 The girls were amazed and I was impressed, because not one of them mentioned how positively ugly baby birds are.  I did.
 The eyes are hardly open.  There are a few feathery type things on the wings, but their pink skin was just about transparent.
"Birds' Eye View"

When we went to take a quick peek today, so far only one little peeper lifted his head out of the nest.  We're hoping the other two were soundly sleeping, otherwise we will have some life lessons to discuss.  But all in all, a neat experience.
