These are the babies. Looks like they're about ready to fly!
And this is the mother with a baby beside her that you can barely see. The light pole itself is very tall, one of those that towers over the ball field.
Yesterday, we saw a large bird on a nearby pole. I theorize he was the father and was acting as sentry for his little family. Or maybe he was looking for tasty squirrels/mice/lizards to feed his growing kids.
Then again, maybe his wife had kicked him out of the nest!


Beautiful wonderful post today !
ReplyDeleteI hope the birds will be clear of the nest before the lights come on.
cheers, parsnip
As of yesterday, they were still in the nest!
DeleteThose are babies, huh?
ReplyDeleteI think they're almost ready to fly. Right now, they're still getting fed by Mama though!
DeleteImpressive birds!
ReplyDeleteImpressive that they'd pick a lamppost in the middle of the ball field for their aerie!
