Today I sat on the treelawn outside my house -- camera in hand, of course.
I was determined to get a picture of Mom & Dad Bird feeding their babies. I've spotted it a few times over the last few days, but have not had my camera with me when it's occured. It's been such a cool moment that I wanted to share it with all of you! I figured if I camped out, I might finally catch it on film. And I did! (The key word being "finally" -- I waited for an hour before they decided it was time for "lunch"! Yep. I know what you're all thinking: "My name is KaraKW, and I am a bird-a-holic."
) Seriously, though, I've been enjoying the bird-watching!
Note - Sorry that the quality of the pictures isn't as great as usual. I had to use a different camera in order to get the zoom I needed from that distance.
This picture is what I call the "All Clear" -- Dad was checking out the area before he ducked under the porch roof and began to feed the little ones!

Dad and Mom take turns feeding, but as you can see, the birdies are impatient for Mom's arrival!

"Decisions! Decisions!" Which little mouth to feed first?

Now well-fed, one birdie stretches his wings before he resumes his nap. By the look of those wings, he'll be flying soon!!
