Surprise, surprise, I was wrong, there are 4 nestlings not 3. When I took the picture of the eggs, I saw only 3, so, either I just couldn't see one or all the eggs were not laid when I took the picture. But looking back at that pic, I now see there is a little spot almost waiting for that 4th egg. Look at their little feathers forming. Over the next 2-3 days we expect them to leave the nest where they will then learn to fly and feed on their own under the supervision and care of their parents who still will feed them. They are getting big and barely fit in the nest anymore. Mom and Dad look thin from all the flying back and forth to feed which goes on nonstop all day long. It is exhaustive to watch. In the picture above the little guys are reacting to a stranger, mouths are shut and they are in a down position. In the pic below (taken on day 8), the little guys don't sense I am a stranger as the pic is taken farther away and I am unnoticed.
