Yes! Two eggs, May 20, 03 ~~ (For perspective: a common 2½" toothpick, marked in half inch segments.)

June 3, 2003 I find "Mom" sitting on her nest.

A few minutes later she takes a break - and what do I see??

They surely have just hatched, the shells are still present and they appear a little damp!

Returning just 50 minutes later, I find them stretched out and relaxed. Imagine a bird -- less than one half inch long!

Those little yellow beaks have a lot of growing to do!!

 Mom has returned and all is well!
