It was 4 days ago when I checked in on the Brown-headed Nuthatches and wow, they are almost fully feathered!

Babies are hiding!
I checked in on the Brown-headed hatchlings and they are covered up so I couldn’t get a good look at them. : (
We had Brown-headed Nuthatches nest in one of our bird boxes last year and they did the same thing by covering up their five babies.
