Baby birds wait impatiently to be fed by their mother, who, aparently wanting to raise well-educated chicks, built her nest in the inside blinds of a Physics Division office window in Bldg. 50. According to office occupant Orin Dahl, he and his office mates usually keep the window open for ventilation, and the birds made the nest before anyone noticed. "Later, we heard birds chirping and assumed there was a nest on top of the building," Dahl said. A fellow researcher pointed out the well-hidden nest. The chicks themselves were only visible during feeding time. It appears that they've now flown the coop, which, according to fellow physicist Michael Barnett, is a good thing: "The bird poop has really gotten to be something."
