Feeding Time

If we're careful we can sneak a peek at the babies.  They are sitting up now and usually have their beaks open.  All day we see Mama on the fence or coop roof waiting for us to leave.  We sat for 10 minutes thinking we could watch her feed them.  She kept getting closer and then moving away.  She knew we were there and even though we were quiet she wouldn't give the nest away.

See the worm in her mouth.  She goes back and forth all day trying to keep her growing babies fed.

The lilies are blooming on the pond and we didn't lose any fish over the winter.
