It's been fascinating to watch them build their nest, and although I know it's not unusual, I think it's neat that they remembered where they nested and came back again. Especially since their first nest (along with four nestlings) was destroyed in a storm last year (tornado, or close to it--it may not have been actually touching down when it passed over our house). They built another one and hatched another brood, so I guess since those were successful, it was still a safe place!
I was curious how things were progressing the other day, so I climbed up with my camera and saw this:

and then, today, this:
This was their reaction to the flash every time. *grin*
The boys are fascinated by them as well. I can't wait till they start learning to fly and are hopping all over the porch!
