Aren't my "babies" cute??!! These little guys are nesting in a silk plant my grandmother has hanging out on her back patio. They are pretty young, and make a ton of noise when their mama comes to feed them. I have never actually been able to see mama so I am not sure what type of bird these little ones are...there are 3 of them that I can see, but these 2 seem to like to sleep pretty much on top of the third one. Getting this pic was hard as I was balancing on a not too stable stool, and stretching to get in close enough...darn near broke my other arm to do it!! But it was worth it to see these cutie's!!

Good job, and an even better one of not scaring away the mother, although I'm a little worried you haven't seen her, yet these babies look pretty well fed to me. Next time use a stepladder...sheesh !! :)

I am told by my mom (jacobs_gramma, check out her Eagle "Spirit") that the chicks are maybe 3-4 days old. They first heard them on Wednesday. The mom does come and feed them, however, the second we pull the drapes back to try to get a look at her, she flies off. So they ARE well cared for, just the mama is pretty elusive.

**I am writing this on her account as she is a brand new member and I want to introduce her to Caedes**

Think you can, think you can't, either way...you're right.

Good exposure, focus and composition! How far away from these little ones were you?

They were about a foot away. I was leaning in as far as I could, without actually falling and breaking my neck...they didn't appreciate the flash, but were otherwise good sports...at least I didn't get pecked to death ala "The Birds"
