Here is a photo of mama on the nest. We learned last night, while doing some research, that the white fluff is spider web silk.


And here is the first hatchling. It is pointing towards "7 o'clock" and you can't see the head from this angle. That is its neck, back and tail. If you click on the photo, you can see the little stripes of feathers. It is hard to get a reference for size, but the nest is the size of a plastic easter egg, and the egg is the size of a jelly belly jelly bean. So cute!!!!
