I'd been watching the nest in a laurel bush with four beautiful blue eggs and then only 3.
This was the first day of the babies lives.
Day 3 - the nest is about shoulder height so I can get in close with my camera.
Day 4 - Beginning to see a big change in their development
1 week old! The parents are getting more agressive and "dive bomb" me when I approach the nest.
Day 9 - Almost ready to fly
Day 11 - As I approached the nest the babies were all sitting upright and alert.
When I got about a yard away - off they flew!
