Even if I "knew the truth" it would still be hearsay.

I think it's incredibly hurtful and destructive to denigrate these murdered parents of a terribly troubled son, especially at this time....

Hi Edward,

You are not alone. I would suspect that nearly every garage, shed and house underbelly in our area has these creatures. I've seen them everywhere I've lived so far, in abundance.

Here's a little video of the mom feeding the babies....

Look at this beautiful shot taken Tuesday evening. The feathers in the nest came from a duck or seagull that was defeathered and almost covered the babies in fluff at one point.
