Babies!!


My sister took this photo yesterday, after she saw Mama Robin shoot out for some food.  It's hard to tell from this photo, but there are at least two babies here.  There may be one more baby, or that egg that fell out of the nest may have been a dud and removed by Mama.  The last egg will likely hatch today, or not at all.  We're doing our best not to disturb Mama, so who knows when we'll find out.  I know when the babies get just a bit bigger, they'll all spend the days stretch up with hungry, open mouths, just like Big Brother here. Mama will spend a lot more time tracking down food for them, and we should be able to get a better look at the babies. Stay tuned......

  2. So cute maybe the others will hatch. I have heard if you mess with a bird nest they will leave it, not sure if it's true. Keep us updated.. Jean

  3. We had a brood of blue tits hatch a few years ago. It was nonstop feeding by the parents - eight of the little buggers with constantly open beaks!
