Dave's Cave

A red breasted nuthatch made a nest in a little basket hanging on the wall outside our back door. She laid five eggs, but only two hatched, which is a good thing, because a week later the two chicks are taking up the entire nest! They have most of their feathers now, and if you so much as walk by the nest, their little mouths open up and the cheeping starts.

Mamma stopped sitting on them a couple days ago, and is pretty much spending all her time fetching them food.
