We had 3 born yesterday and this morning. Just watched the last baby leave the nest with the mama. The other two were already gone with the daddy.Hcato1https://www.blogger.com/profile/13785398136395547794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354896633357926551.post-65712051188044999622009-02-02T16:22:00.000-06:002009-02-02T16:22:00.000-06:00Ahhh...

The mama acted like she had a broken wing (she spotted me for a sucker for anything injured or in need), and drew me off the baby I was after.
