Feathers

The three largest baby blackbirds are well-covered with feathers now:
The one at the back is their mother, doing a bit of nest maintenance.  Between eating and sleeping, the babies spend a lot of time preening their new feathers.

I'm amazed by how fast they are growing.

I can't believe how fast they are growing. Nature is truly wonderful.
