They became more and more hideous

Pssst....there are some bird eggs in here.

This is their last cute photo.  Once these little guys hatched, U-G-L-Y.  Worse, hideous.  Mounds of flesh.  We liked watching them grow everyday over a couple of weeks, but I don't think Sawyer or Oliver believed that they were birds until the very end.

Too bad that's not in focus, cracks me up.

And now they've grown up and flown away.  We still look at their empty nest.

How lucky are you, to be able so show the boys how birds are born. The photos of the nest are amazing.

WHAT A COOL THING FOR YOUR BOYS TO SEE! there was one in a tree in our yard, but the wind blew it out and the mommy left it. the girls just took turns trying to steal the eggs and...eat them. i think....ew...

Those are awesome photos! I always feel so guilty every year when I see birds choosing our trees...bad choice. I have to talk to all the kids about NOT climbing the trees, throwing rocks at them, showing their friends etc and then look at you here and your birds turned out just fine.

P.S. We still have a dead birds skeletal remains in our pine tree from last year.
