North Side Nest and other birds

I did not have the bike, so only opened a few boxes. The chicks in Box 16 were napping. The cropped photos shows pin feathers coming through, but the birds still have pink skin with no body feathers. The eyes are closed (not fully developed).

Today I had more interaction with the parents. The male alone in a tree, the female with insect or spider in mouth.

Click the photo for a bigger view.  She would not go inside till I left. Both were on top of the box at one time.

A bit of video, but no entry to the box.  I did not see the insect when I took the video, so there was in fact food.

Other than that there was the male house wren singing next door, you might hear it in the video, and some meadowlarks and a Baltimore oriole hidden in some flowers.

Orioles are usually more visible:

Purple Martins (as well as a house sparrow) have one or two chicks in the Martin house.
