We found them because Charlie was making every effort to climb up and into the shrub where the nest is - not sure if he wanted to eat them or snuggle them (he caught a bird a while back and we found it nestled between his HUGE paws, trembling, while he licked and nuzzled it), but there they were, with their mom in a nearby tree.
They grow fast
and like typical babies, all they seem to want to do is eat
and eat...
and as if that's not enough, we also found this last night, in a lilac bush right beside our dining table:
Mama cardinal sitting on, I think, eggs, with the dad always lurking nearby...
Gosh, and we were feeling sad that the mourning doves hadn't made their usual nest over the front door this year - now it's like a nature show in our own backyard...
We have finally been able to start eating outside, and the flowers? Oh, the flowers...
I love spring...
