Click on the thumbnail to see a larger version. The picture quality isn’t the best, but I didn’t want to get too close. There are three baby birds in the picture. Two of them are to the left side of the black chain on the right side of the photograph. One is looking towards the food and the other is facing the camera right next to the chain- all that can be seen of that one is its wide open yellow mouth. The third bird is to the right of the chain and is looking away to the right. Not sure if that was a fluke or not- maybe that bird goes hungry alot.
What can’t be seen in this picture is the other parent, sitting on the fence with a load of food in its beak, waiting for its turn to feed the babies.
