Update

The mother and little ones seem to be doing well, but no one's getting any prettier.
In fact, I decided today that the hatchlings look quite a lot like the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal. Did anyone watch that movie more than I did as a kid? (I know, I know, EXPLAINS A LOT and whatnot.)

So I guess that today the birds get names. Frank and Jim (After Frank Oz and Jim Henson). I mean it as a compliment, though I can see how things could get misconstrued.

Jessie, I have finally started reading your blog again after nesting, and this one made me laugh! Get it...nesting and these ugly little birds, what a disappointment for the family! (today is 10-6-08 and still no baby...but maybe he's/she's getting prettier than this!)

Oh and you are very punny. :)
