May 6. By the third day, the wee ones are getting a little more feathery (though it looks more like "hairy"), which makes them look like they have mini pompadours. Their beaks are also starting to harden, it seems. The mother fed them well into the dark tonight, past 9pm, which seemed unusual. She was feeding them whole mealworms, along with some larval insects that she must be collecting in the nearby Lime Ridge Open Space. The mama bird also managed to get some sleep tonight, which was a point of concern for some interested followers.
