Scoots, Shoots & Leaves

I was puzzled this morning as I watched the bushtit parents bring worms into the nest and then bring them out again (or so I thought). Had the babies turned vegan and refused the worms? Or worse, were they sick and not eating? Then I figured out that what was coming out was undoubtedly the equivalent of poopy diapers. With up to six babies in there, it must be filling up a bit.

Still no peek at baby beaks, but I'm keeping up the vigil.

More photos of the nest action in the Photobucket slideshow. (Note: if the slideshow doesn't work well for you, go to the upper right corner and click on 'Back,' it should take you to the album.)
