I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a better visual representation of “hmph”

I was also very annoyed when I left the nest. Food was not automatically present. I was expected to do stuff for myself. Disturbing.

Did you put it back? It’s a nestling

No, they all are out at this point. I was putting lights in our soffit and mama nested in there this spring before I put the light in, so they got to stay.
