Spring at it's finest

We had a mama bird decide to build a nest in a tree right by our front door. (Not the smartest thing to do with the kids.) Before I knew it was there, this bird would always fly away when I walked by and it would scare me! I then found that she was guarding 4 eggs.

We checked everyday for the eggs to hatch. In a matter of a day, 3 of the eggs hatched. The fourth one was a dud. They were ugly looking things.

Any noise would cause the birds to open their mouths wide. They grew so fast.

We were gone for a week for graduation. When we came back, this is what we found!

It's crazy how fast they grew! It's been fun watching this whole process with the kids.
