Here are my babies again. Notice the baby’s eyes are open. Only one head can be seen, but in this crowded nest, what can we expect? The downy fluff hides a lot as well.

I didn’t want to hold the box open any longer than necessary to know if the babies had hatched, and I had no way to check focus – I could only guess at my aim. Of course,
