Squishy

It had to be a nestbox full of squiggly hatchlings and one stubborn egg for today’s image. This is Box # 5 which had not yet hatched when I checked yesterday. Today all but one egg has hatched and mama is alternating between brooding them to keep them warm and rounding up little morsels to feed them. It’s chilly today so the naked babies in all the nest boxes need to be kept warm. Fortunately, it starts to warm up tomorrow which will make everything easier for all the adult birds.

My husband’s cousin and sister came over for a barbecue today so lots of visiting and catching up. A shame the weather wasn’t nicer as it would have been nicer to be able to sit outside but still a good time. Hubs made burgers, grilled veggies, corn salad and Greek salad so there was plenty to eat! So no dinner for us tonight!
