All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Woke up this morning to an empty nest. The babies were walking around the deck while both parents were out.

About an hour later both parents came back. The babies were hiding behind a pot so I moved it out of the way and the one parent immediately came down and sat with them for about 10 minutes.

After a bit the parent called out and fed both the kids. Not long after that they all flew off into the big tree in our backyard.

Sad to see them go but I hope they stay safe out there and come back again next year :)
