UPDATE on our new pet

So sorry to report. Upon returning from our Mother's Day Weekend with my kids, Dick's mom and my mom.....No bird activity. Odd. I looked in the nest and it appeared less organized, a few bits of nest falling away, no bird activity. I watched the nest for a few days and still, No Activity.
We've had a few sunny days so I finally had a few minutes to catch some warmth on my deck outside of our bedroom. There, by a planter box, it caught my eye. A little bird, dead. It was still fairly featherless, about 1.5 inches long. I don't know how it got up to the deck. That is still a mystery! The nest is down below off of the garden fence. There weren't any remittance of egg shell anywhere to be seen, not around the nest or around the deck.
I haven't checked the nest for a few days now, I don't want to disturb the parents any more than they probably are feeling at this point. Sure has been quiet. Too quiet now! Yea, we sleep past 6 a.m. now, but ...... reminds me of 'Be careful what you wish for.'
