The last picture is of an eastern that recently hatched with a rather large yolk sac and her sibling hatching behind her. Since this picture was taken a few days ago much of the yolk has been asorbed.

I think this hatchling has some very nice color to it. The picture below shows it just minutes out of the egg and oddly shaped from being cramped inside the egg. It now looks normal.

I snuck in the middle picture of a late night visitor to my yard the other night, raiding my bird feeder of sunflower seeds.
