The first day the babies appeared, I was so excited that I took lots & lots of photos much to the dismay of Mama bird. Mama was upset and sqawked at me all day. She had her revenge though, she had Papa build the nest up so high that I can’t see the babies until they grow big. Oh, I think this is a brand new Mama, because last year they didn't care one bit about the nest. It was so shabby that two babies fell out. I rescued the babies and returned them to the nest. But I put a pillow underneath the nest in case it happened again. All 5 survived and flew away.
They stay in the nest for 18-23 days. I'll see them when they grow bigger, it will get crowded in there with 5 babies. All I've seen this week is one small forked tail probably belonging to the 1st hatched.
