Mom! She’s Touching Me!

This morning Fenway and I took an early walk before the predicted humidity began to rise. It was a nice morning along the lake and others had the same idea. As I walked past the small building that houses bathrooms behind the bandshell I saw a man pointing his cellphone up inside the hallway next to the soda machine. I’d been noticing signs of bird activity for several days but did not bother to walk over and explore. 


I asked him what he was photographing and walked to stand next to him. Looking up I spotted the nest…..a very crowded nest!



My not-so-good photo shows three babies. There were actually two or three more crowded in the back!
All must have been waiting for mom or dad to come back with breakfast. I’m not sure what kind they are, maybe swallows?

As I looked at the little bunch all I could think of was car trips with our two in the back and one saying “Move over!” or “Mom she’s touching me!” I guess baby birds are more cooperative while sharing their small space and these little ones will probably be gone in the next few days.
