The Northern Cardinal eggs hatched this morning!

| Baby Northern Cardinals |
Fresh from their shells, those little mouths open so wide! Feed me! Feed me!
I love the desperation in those little beaks (especially the baby bird on the left). So dependent! Those eyes cannot see yet. Those wings don’t flap. They contribute nothing. I later learn that the father bird comes and feeds the baby birds. There’s something precious about this as I consider the truth in Psalm 81, where another Father commands his people to do nothing except one thing: “Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.”
Might I lean back, open wide my life (even when I can’t see the path) and let God fill me? Desperate and dependent characterizes another way to live with flair. We’re baby Northern Cardinals, opening wide to the Father’s provision today.

So frail and yet so very soon they will flutter away. How fun for you to get to observe!
Almost too pertinent today as a dog is lost who is very shy, even feral. My heart is broken and yet I know he is in God's hands but I so wish he were in mine.
What a wonderful capture, even though you had to brave the mother bird to get these ~
