• One last picture of the babies, they're mostly grown up now!

  

  One had already flown away before I could get a pick, and one of the parents tried to poop on me to scare me off, luckily they missed.  Since at least one of them is flying already, I doubt I'll be able to get any more pics.  A few days ago, one fell out of the nest about 15 feet down to the ground.  Luckily I saw it (I'm sure neighborhood cats would've gotten to it otherwise), used gloves and a little shovel to pick it up, take it upstairs out to the deck and back into its nest.  It's still alive, I don't know if it's okay though.  The one egg never did hatch, so sad! 

  In other news, it is more confirmed by the day that Faith is all girl.  It didn't come from me!  She is obsessed with shoes and necklaces, and her latest fetish is lots and lots of ponytails.  When I'm trying to work from home at the computer, she just brings me one ponytail holder after another and puts her head down for me to put them in, this was today's creation:

  

  

  Also, she's started being cheesy with the camera, so I am having a hard time getting genuine pictures, but it is funny
