The baby cardinals have been born!

At first they looked like no more than a wriggling bit of fuzz at the bottom of the nest.

Then Mama Bird returned for a bit. She blocked my view of them, and would look over her shoulder if I so much as twitched behind the window. Amazing what having eyes on the sides of your head will do for your peripheral vision!

When Mama Bird flew off, I could get a better shot at the hatchlings, who obviously wanted mom to come back with breakfast. You can only see two here, but later on, Barry saw a third.
