I love to look at these babies. With binoculars, I can see the nest from my study window. They only come out of the deepest part of the nest in mid-afternoon - I happened upon them accidentally. Yesterday they weren't out at all, but I heard their excited cheeping this morning when an adult came to feed them.
There is just nothing like a baby bird with its mouth wide open like that. It's beautiful and raw, in the moment, excited and insistent. How absolutely great that you can get these photographs. Wonderful.
The poisonous sea anemones protect certain small fish which do not suffer from their poison. These birds protect themselves with the cacti! Solidarity!!! Les anémones de mer venimeuses protègent certains petits poissons qui ne souffrent pas de leur poison . Ces oiseaux se protègent avec les cactus ! La solidarité !!!
I retired from the University of Arizona, where I coordinated distance learning. New enthusiasms include learning about digital photography and photoprocessing, archaeology, theatre, and observing the natural world around me.

great pics, Pam! I wouldn't have seen that sibling had you not pointed it out. What a great sight to see and share with your blog admirers.
Baby birds are so incredibly cute. Glad you have the opportunity to watch them grow.
I just love that baby bird's expression while waiting for Mummy!! (Or as you guys say ... Mommy - it is an American chick after all!)
