But I Don't Want to Go!

Junior keeps sticking around from mom's first brood of babies. I suspect that she is now busy sitting on eggs for the next brood of babies.

I love the fluffy baby feathers, still a little maturing before leaving the nest!

What a delightful image of these two birds. For the baby feathers, it's time to grow up, and it's always a challenging but exciting time.

Lovely shot. When junior gets bigger, he won't be able to hide in there.

It must be crowded in there if part of her first brood must share space with the eggs.
