almost ready to leave the nest

A few months ago, we discovered a bird's nest right under the gutter by the garage. Last week, there was a flutter of new activity ...

We thought there were three, but as they get bigger, we can see definitely four, sometimes it even looks like there are five. They are usually pretty quiet and they just seem to watch us all the time.

I'm thinking this is kind of like the teenager phase...a very crowded house and a mess that seems to overflow onto everything. (I didn't take a picture of what the ground under this nest looks like...you can use your imagination.)

But you know they will soon be gone.

And you will miss them.
