Thursday, April 24th, we found a bird's nest in our front yard in a bush. The mother (so far we think they are Mockingbirds or blue birds) flew off and we went to investigate and saw brown spotted blue eggs. The next morning this is what we saw in the nest.
The next day we saw this... 
And today (Saturday) we saw this! They have grown a lot in 2 days!
I checked on them this morning... shhhhh! (whispering) they are asleep! They are covered in fuzz today and move as one unit together! So cute! Sunday, April 27th, they are 3 days old.
This was taken on Monday 4 days old. 
Below: This was taken this morning (Tuesday, April 29th) See the difference in their eyes! (5 days old)
And now we are seeing feathers!
We got a quick picture of the mother. She was watching me and the nest so I went back inside.
Friday, May 2nd. I got this shot of them late this afternoon when all was quiet. They are covered with soft down and feathers. They didn't budge when I came up for a picture!
Saturday, they are fluffier and have more feathers! Still sleeping a lot! One week old!
On Sunday, May 4th... look at all the feathers!
And today's picture (Tuesday, May 6th) the nest is getting smaller and smaller!

How sweet that is. I hope there aren't any hungry cats in the neighborhood.
It makes you want to feed them.
Can't tell what type of birds you have in Virginia.

They are in a thick bush and about 6' off the ground. It is a thick bush with lots of branches around. Other larger birds might be more of a threat. Trying to get a picture of the mother. Will take another pic tomorrow. This has not only been fun but so rewarding to witness!
These pictures are so amazing, they look like trumpet flowers!
so cute eating and sleeping all day long.

Thanks for sharing these sweet little creatures with us! It is amazing to see how they grow so quickly...feathers and all! *Ü*
Hi Chris!
It has been harder to get near them both pappa and momma have been nearby throwing a fit if I walk that direction! Don't blame them! They make noise now with little faint high pitched squeeling!
