Yesterday was the first day that 5 of the youngsters came down to the feeders for their mealworms. It was a lot of fun to watch as they pleaded their case to Dad as he got a mouthful of worms. The others were on a flat branch but this one didn’t budge from its perch and finally was rewarded with a flyby feeding from Dad. Hopefully as the weather improves over the next few days, I can capture a few images in better light. I love watching the behavior of the babies as they position themselves for that meal. They are pretty good fliers at this point and could easily fly down and grab a worm for themselves but haven’t figured that out yet. I had just watched on in the front yard hunting insects on the ground. Cute kids, tired Dad.
