Their 3 babies hatched while I was in the hospital and are growing really fast. So intersting to get to see in these nests. The camera quality is so good on the Norfolk one.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552777489399984385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-6242835896103860872011-04-07T09:19:46.993-05:002011-04-07T09:19:46.993-05:00Now that's a romantic saga!!

I have seen one hatching this year, and now there are four eggs in the box. I enjoy watching them.
