Well, we decided that since the mommy couldn't heft her little one back into the nest (there are two other babies, and we think they booted this one for more leg room), he should spend the night safely in our home. The boys dug up some worms (sorry, dad, for digging in the area where you're trying to grow grass seed) and the bird is eating them well, every 1/2 hour or so. Jacob asked me to set my alarm clock for 5AM so he can feed the bird one more time and let him back outside. We just couldn't rest easily tonight knowing the little guy might be something's midnight snack!
