Baby Birds - Day 4


WOW! They are just growing like weeds! (sorry for the cliche) Oh, and by the way, I didn't count beaks correctly that first day. When I went back to zoom in closer on the first photos, there were only 4 then, so we haven't lost one. I am having serious doubts about the Song Sparrow theory, though. They are just so gray. The field guides aren't very helpful with juveniles - especially pre-fledgling. My Sibley's does show that the juvenile Eastern Song Sparrow has a lot of gray on its back compared to the adult. So, it still could be the Song Sparrow I saw coming and going from the nest area.
