Baby birds

Was in the forest today; discovered a nest of just-hatched birds. Pretty sure they're yellow warblers.

Baby birds are probably the LEAST cute baby animal there is.

Congratulations, their mother has now abandoned them. I hope you're proud.

Agreed.

How do you think birds evolved if they abandoned their babies as soon as something even looked at them?

Birds are fiercely territorial.

Nope, still ugly as sin. The macro mode on this camera is pretty incredible though, considering I wasn't using a tripod or anything.

I think baby humans give them a run for their money.

And baby birds are going to look as ugly as that until they're about 3 or 4 weeks old. :P

Keep on taking pictures of them daily if you can. Birds generally grow pretty fast. Within 2 weeks it will start looking like their adult counter parts, and by the third week, they should be leaving the nest.

I can't even find them actually. The tractor had a mower attachment on it, and, well...

A similar incident occurred in my neighbor's field. Except instead of baby birds it was a fawn.

Happens often, you see they've not yet learned to run from the big scary machine.
