In fact, they looked like little brown eggs with feet. I was forced to stay out of the back yard for several hours. They seem to be gone now, but I can't imagine that the little guys can fly over our fence. Maybe they were born under our deck. We also had a White-breasted Nuthatch at the peanut feeder, but he finally opted for hulled sunflower seeds. Kendric -- Kendric C.
