I'm not much of a photographer, but my husband discovered these little fuzzies while pruning our rose bush this weekend. They look brand new, not even fluffy yet!

Yes Barb, they're brown thrashers. At least, the mama bird who screams at me when I get close to the nest is a brown thrasher Update: I can see feathers coming in on their wings today!

Oh look how fast they are growing. We had a nest in a window box that I watched last summer. It was such fun. Life is Great!

Yeah, I suspect that had to be Mama Bird yelling at you. How nice to have a front row seat to this event. It always amazes me how fast the baby birds grow. Thanks for sharing these photos with us, bit! Breathe in, Breathe out...Move on - Jimmy Buffett Quote | Post #876611 (10)

Well, I woke up to an empty nest a couple days ago, sure that a predator got the babies. But much to my surprise, this little fellow was sitting on my cucumber trellis this morning. He can't fly yet, and mom was still screaming at me from the tree above. Not sure if any of his siblings made it, but I'm happy for even one baby after I thought they were all lost.

So glad it all went well! I've had two nests (one Cardinals, one Carolina Wren) empty awfully quickly (at least it seemed to me) so this gives me hope that it all went as it should have... Breathe in, Breathe out...Move on - Jimmy Buffett Quote | Post #884194 (16)

Here's a picture I took of the Wren's nest the day I discovered it in the empty plastic pot - there were 6 or 7 eggs in there! However, about 3 days later, there was nothing, no damage, no "detritus", nothing. I doubt it ended well, but I wonder what happened...

Two more bird photos that are happier... A Brown Thrasher in the yard, searching for goodies for the young'uns The Eastern Phoebe, feeding her SECOND brood this year (taken in mid-June). First brood had five, this was either four or five. Breathe in, Breathe out...Move on - Jimmy Buffett Quote | Post #892237 (18)

Nice pics! too bad about that poor nest. I got an old metal watering can off a hook last week and found it filled with nest material. I never noticed them in there! Probably house wrens.
