Eeek, they're so cute! I love how angry-and-yet-fluffy baby and adolescent birds always look.
Re: "ordinary" nature, I've been on a quest this spring to identify all our local weeds using iNaturalist. Yes, they're nothing out of the ordinary, but there's incredible variation and it's fascinating to notice how the composition changes over time---in March it was all the rose-family fruit trees and deadnettle, in April and early May, it was hairy bittercress, cleavers, and common vetch, then fleabane and other aster-family flowers started popping up, and now in late May everything's been replaced by chicory (gorgeous blue flowers) and purple crown vetch everywhere I look.
