Eyes Open and lots of swooping

The defensive mockingbird parent knows where I live and is now keeping an eye on me. Here's the bird squawking at me as soon as I came out the front door.


I went over to the nest to get a shot of the babies. Their eyes opened June 1st and then know I'm not mama or daddy, so they hunker down now. Here's the best shot at a swoop I could get.


Here's the nest.

Here's one brave baby bird while the rest hunker down.
