Are You My Mother?

While at the beach my brother causally mentioned he might have baby birds back at his house in Gaithersburg . WHAT, you need to tell me these things. Hoping the nest and birds survived the storm that took down trees and power poles and left 300,000 houses without power on Friday night (his is still out as I listen to the neighbors generator) while we were gone. Yes, the nest was there and after calling Joe and asking if he had a ladder I was set to see if anything was in the nest. I found a very newly born baby and hopefully a couple of brothers and sisters. Mom was nowhere to be found so I'm a little worried for him.
