we had five chicks growing up on a ledge outside our front door. it happens every year. they’re so cute and the parents were so attentive. they decided to try to leave the nest today. they flew around for a while but didn’t want to leave. mom kept bringing them bugs. i think one of them was unprepared. it hit the ground and — i think — broke its face. i wrapped it in a towel and let it rest in peace. the other 4 seem to back in the nest for the night. i hope they all make it tomorrow.
