http://s992.photobucket.com/albums/af48/sybster1000/So early today I went and took 2 pix. Tried not to get close. Took the dogs out for a couple of hours... Then THEY WERE GONE!!! I was devastated. I looked for feathers/blood because there are cats around, not mine. No leaves messed up, no signs of (gasp) them being eaten. Looked to see if kicked out of nest so I could take to rescue center. Nothing!! So I see Daddy going in and out and giving warning sound. Then I see Mama up higher in the garage in the wall. I didn't take a picture and quickly left. I felt like enough damage had been done. So I went to Wild Bird's Unlimited. I said what Happened? Could they have moved the nest and babies? He said "No" They either left the nest because it was time or something got them. He said that birds don't move their young. I asked why the new nest then? He said that they have up to 4 broods a season and are probably starting a new one.....I'm just sick. I feel responsible somehow..he just smiled and said "Nature is harsh sometimes" Any insights? Any birders? Did they look big enough to leave? So sorry for this diatribe....
aNYHOW..i GO OUT TO MY GARAGE AND MOVED SOMETHING AND THE LITTLE GUYS STARTED FLUTTERING AROUND....NO WORRIES MATE!!!!! I JUST NEED TO STAY OUT OF IT FOR AWHILE!!
