NEWLY HATCHED TITMOUSE BABIES

      All day, I have been watching the mom and pop titmice going back and forth, feeding their brand new babies in the nest. A few minutes ago, I walked past the birdhouse and the mama titmouse suddenly showed up, with dinner for her babies in her beak. As I walked away, I kept glancing back and she peeped around the side of the birdhouse, just to make sure I was leaving. I knew not to interfere with her feeding those babies! They are very hungry!! I'm pretty sure they were hatched yesterday, because their little peeps are so tiny. I have lots of birdhouses in my yard, so they can pick the spot they feel their babies will be safe.
     Have you figured out where your baby birds are? Listen carefully for tiny peeps and chirps. Usually, you'll hear more than one baby chirping at the same time, especially when food is delivered. "Feed me, Feed me!".
     Cardinals nest in thick bushes or low in a bushy tree. Look very carefully, because when they build their nest, it blends so well with the branches that you almost can't see it. Look at it and then move away and please don't touch it. I'm sure the birds are watching you and their nest. If they feel you're a threat, they'll move on and build someplace else. I look for the nests, but I play like I'm looking at something else and then I move on. Believe me, they are watching!
     Would love to hear about your discoveries!
