Back in the nest, the number of white eggs increased to five -- five blue speckled ovals that fit perfectly, with no room for more and no nest wasted.
And then a week later...
Four of the five eggs had hatched and formed a mash of pink flesh and gray feathers.
And soon there were all five babies

A visible beak, along with big black baby bird circles... 
Another shot of a beak and a head
And since I couldn't invite them in for some pizza...

Awwwww, I LOVE IT. That is amazing! And thankfully this is that happy, birds-chirping, sun-shining segment of the special on the meadow filled with wildflowers. Not the more stressfuly separated-from-the-herd kind of science films that made me so sad during those school days. This is just like happy, Disney happy but happier. I'll call it Durham Happy. Love to the birds, the Fonz, the Scout and the most excellent Humans taking care of them all. XOXO
