We were getting up extra early for the past couple of weeks because of these noisy but wonderful little birds. Saturday I spotted over a dozen gathering on a nearby lawn fluttering about, all the youngs ones - the parents had left.
I told my wife we might be able to sleep in Sunday because the birds were ready to leave, and we did sleep in, until 10:00 AM which we almost never do.
The birds were almost all gone Sunday. Maybe a half dozen left on the whole block, the slience was welcomed.
Empty nest (see pictures); my wife told me to close up the hole in the garage wall and seal up the underside of the door opening, once was enough.
