Common Nature

Sparrow babies. I have a four box Sparrow colony on the back of the house. These are the three babies in my D box today. Their eyes are open, and their feathers are starting to emerge from the quills. Alert little birds now, where only a few days ago they were naked and pink, and slept all the time. In a few more days they'll start exercising their wings, and wanting to look out the entrance hole to see what's outside.
