No!!! Somebody actually witnessed it? How horrible! They had grown just since I'd been watching. Those poor little things - they were totally vulnerable. That is so so so sad. I watch the day it rained and they spent a lot of time with their little beaks turned up into the rain getting good drinks. Even momma sat on the nest and upturned her beak. And the sound of the rain and the gentle other sounds of nature were so soothing that day. I'd hope to watch them leave that nest on the wing one day but surely didn't expect to hear this. Devastating news.
