I went out this afternoon on another berry-picking expedition, forgetting all about the nest I found a couple days ago (see last post). Suddenly I was looking down at this newly hatched bird, completely wet and without feathers. Or so it appeared. About five hours later we went out and took this picture. His first downy feathers had now dried and fluffed out and he was eager to eat.
His nest mate still hadn't hatched yet at 7pm. I expect to find another hungry mouth peeping out from this same nest next time I pick berries! Blessings, LORI
