Cardinal hatchlings have hatched!

How about that for a redundant post title? Of course hatched birds have hatched. Last week I posted about a nest I discovered in my front yard (click here for that) and I finally have an update! The speckled eggs cracked and life sprang forth in the form of these helpless little cardinal babies. Check out a few photos below. I’ll definitely be updating as they grow, I’m very curious how they’ll look as they become adult birds. Will they turn red? What will their baby beaks look like? Will the mom attack me like the robin mom did?

  Thanks Noah!! I’m excited to watch them grow and see when they start looking different from the robin chicks a few weeks ago.

  I love when they look up to receive food from mama, not even knowing if mama is actually there. Precious is the perfect word!
