Hi Stacey,
They are very likely fledglings, out of the nest and being fed by parents while they learn to fly and their longer feathers grow in. There is usually about a week of this awkward and vulnerable stage for fledglings, but they are not lost or abandoned, and they didn't just fall out of the nest -- it's part of the fledging process. Don't touch them and don't call attention to them. Their parents will take care of them.
