Baby Birds

(From May 19th...)
We have had a nest of doves in our "trash tree" this spring, and to our delight, the two eggs hatched last week and now there are two little birds flying around our yard. This evening, Anna spotted them on our side fence, all four sitting: Father and Mother Bird, and the Two Babies. This was right after dinner, and everyone wanted to get a view of the dear birdie family. Even Daniel, who was still in his high chair from dinner, kept saying, "Bird! Bird!" Then he said, "Mommy!" and "Daddy!" and "Bird!" I think he understood! We quickly cleaned him up and let him see too.

The Mother (or Father - I don't know how to tell) flew off (to get some food we conjectured) before we snapped the picture. Here is part of our dear birdie family:
