We're Grandparents!

We've been wondering the last few days, if there are any eggs in the nest or not. It's been a couple of weeks since this all started and the nest is located in such a position that we can't see down into it. Since I didn't want to use a ladder for fear of disturbing the nest or scaring the parents away, we've had to settle for waiting it out.

This evening I went out on the front deck just as one of the adult birds flew from the tree. I glanced up at the nest and saw a little head with open beak pointing skyward. I assume that the adult had been feeding it, and the young one was still looking for more after it left.

I watched for a few minutes and the head disappeared below the edge of the nest, but didn't re-appear while I watched. Nor did I see any other little heads.
