They Grow Up So Fast

Vicki said she thought there was a bird's nest in our Grapefruit tree. A quick glance confirmed her suspicion. I began this series of photos October 13th.

Sometime before October 21st the eggs had hatched to produce two very ugly little chicks.

Four days later, October 25th, they had developed feathers and looked much less ugly.

This afternoon, November 1st, they have a well-developed set of feathers with a nearly "cute" appearance, although, they don't particularly like having a camera stuck in their faces.

All this development took about two weeks. Next thing you know they'll be leaving home and starting families of their own.
