Baby birds in the blueberries

Late this afternoon, we walked down to the blueberry patch to help our neighbors set up a tent.  This would serve as an area of much needed shade for those picking blueberries.  After putting up the tent, our neighbors said they had found a small nest of three baby birds.  The mother bird obviously thought that the blueberry patch would be the perfect spot for her little nest. Of course, we all wanted to see this tiny home built of twigs and it's three little occupants!  Lauren, you were excited to see the baby birds as we pulled back a branch of the blueberries.  Your eyes filled with wonder as you focused on this precious miracle of nature.  Three baby birds, mouths wide open, waiting for their mother to return with food.  We knew not to disturb them too long, so we carefully placed the branch back in it's place to hide this little home.  What a special and unexpected surprise in the blueberry patch!!!
