Baby wrens, descending.
Jun. 30th, 2012 03:56 pm...and then (yesterday afternoon) this happened:
Baby wren #1, investigating that place where the food comes from.

Stretching...

It was pushed!

Baby wrens numbered two and three took a moment to sort themselves out:

Baby wren #2 ascendent...

...and distracted.

"But I don't want a tasty spider right now!" (it reconsidered a moment later)

Baby wren #3, disembarking with grace:

Baby wren #4...

...also a bit distracted:

Baby wren #5 is in touch with its skeksis ancestry. (also, photographs taken through the edge of the decal on the window don't work out quite so well.)

Baby wren #6: "Hey, where is everybody?"

"Wait for me!"

Baby wrens on the ground disappear very nicely, except for the cheeping:

Oddly enough, though, one of the parents is feeding someone in the birdhouse this afternoon. I don't know if this is a seventh slight latebloomer, or if they decided the nest was a good place to hang out in the heat of the day. They were wandering about the back garden en masse this morning, enjoying the aftermath of the giant thunderstorm from last night. (We had rain! 0.4" of it! (which is, sadly, more than we've had in about a month and a half) And crazy winds which did not knock over any of our trees, and I have a nice full pond again. Classy. The frogs are pleased.)
