Cheep Cheep, Little Birds

Hello to everyone..

Boy...it is HOT here in West Texas.

Temps running around 98 degrees.

Drains the life right out of ya when you go outside.

If I'm outside for long, I head to the bright red umbrella.

I've been watching a small bird nest in this tree for awhile.

The mama and daddy  have a hissy fit all the time I rest under the umbrella.
I could see the mama on the nest for a couple of days and

then, all at once, the tiny nest was FULL of baby birds..

and how fast they grow...before I knew it they were almost as large as their mama.

The daddy perches on a branch of the tree most of the time.

He never gets very far away... and of all the

chattering and chirping and fussing when I try to get too close....

 Every now and then,

he will fly off for a bit and come back with a worm.

I wish I had a really good camera for shots such as this.

The little point and shoot just can't do these beautiful birds justice...

but you can see that the babies are almost as large as their mama and daddy.

I never could tell for sure just how many babies ....I know there's 3..maybe 4.

They will fly away soon.....

Are they yellow breasted CHATS ?

 P.S. They flew away the very next day....

'twas fun watching this little family with yellow bellies..:)
