feeding baby mocker

These pictures were taken today. The babies are 23 days old now, born May 15, 2011. Still feeding the little guy 11 days after he ditched the nest. There is a flower in the foreground obstructing the first pic a little bit, but, it is very hard to get a good pic without scaring them. I was allowed pretty close, maybe 20-30 feet from them. But, you have to move quick, and being a amateur photographer, my nerves get the best of me, shaking like a leaf, blind as a bat to boot, it's a pleasant surprise I even get a shot at all! This is dad mocker feeding his baby boy. They look identical. I think this is the biggest baby mocker. The second picture is the baby right after dad took off, watching him leave. So adorable!
