You can look, but avoid touching the babies. Though it's a myth that parent birds will abandon the nest if they smell humans on the babies or eggs (birds actually have a very limited sense of smell), they may notice that the nest has been disturbed. To some bird species, this is a sign of a predator, and the parents may flee. In addition to this, your hands are a breeding-ground for bacteria and other such dangers to the baby birds. Look briefly, then leave the nest alone.
