Growing Babies

The baby sparrows are growing fast, still with no feathers.  The Momma sparrow grows increasingly upset the older her babies get and, though she didn't dive-bomb me as I took the picture, she flew awfully close and squawked all the way.

I love having this little nest of babies on the balcony but would have to get rid of them if it was a nest of squirrels.  I'm still traumatized by the times the hideous things invaded my attic.

I'm not sure how I'd get rid of a nest of squirrels but it would have to involve my poor grandsons.  Knowing Matt, he'd probably take them and set them up in a safe place far away from his Gramma.
