In a way it is sad to see the weaker babies pass but that is mother nature I guess...only the strong survive....even if the babies had survived in the nest they may never have got past their first flight out in the world. Hope you get some others nesting there soon....maybe even another batch of eggs this year?!?!allotments4youhttp://www.allotments4you.com/noreply@blogger.com
