It is getting increasingly difficult to see all three at once without observing for a while. I don't know if it's always the same bird on the bottom of the pile, but if it is, I'd say it will get to spend some time alone in the nest after the first two have left, doing all the flapping and stretching it hasn't had space for until now.
This picture was snapped after the bird on the top had been standing on the other's head for at least a minute - the bottom bird finally wrenched his head out and bit the other one squarely on the chin.
Another one, just a few seconds before that:
And a few videos. These wee birdies are going to be out of webcam range in just a day or two, so I'm posting several.
And as I'm sitting here, watching Blogger try to post a video, the mama just flew in with a huge beakful of ...nesting material? which she is now busy stomping down into the nest, as the babies squeak at her in protest. How curious!

oh my gosh they are hilarious. This has been a most enjoyable month!
you know, you just might have to get your own pair of birdies and you can watch the show indoors!
