The babies have fledged! I didn't see them all go but I did see the last one flutter about under the awning and all around the garden. Mom was just returning with a fat juicy one when she discovered that her youngest was missing from the birdhouse. It was so touching to watch her go in and immediately come back out with the worm still dangling from her beak. She looked totally shocked and looked all around as if to say where are you! The littlest was actually hanging under the glass coffee table only a few inches from me. But all is good, now the parents are chasing after their chicks who are playing hide and seek in the garden. Parenthood is exhausting....
