The baby birds are gone…

Yesterday, we walked out to our courtyard and realized the mama bird and baby birds who we’ve walked past for two weeks had grown up and flown away…

We were pretty used to walking past them and saying ‘hello’ and trying not to disturb the mama and kids.  It’s been amazing to see this whole ‘miracle’ unfold at eye level.

Sigh. They grow up so fast…

The baby birds are gone…
Mama bird in the nest

The baby birds are gone…
Mama’s eggs while she’s taking a break
The baby birds are gone…
Mama and the baby birds
The baby birds are gone…
Baby birds on their own while mama is out looking for food

The baby birds are gone…
Baby starting to explore…
The baby birds are gone…
Empty nest…  🙁
