A mama Robin has decided that the top of our flood light at our back door is a great place to create a nest. We have to agree since we get to watch this wonderful process!
05.11.12 One lonely egg
For what seemed like the longest time there was only one egg…
5.16.12 Yeah! Siblings
Suddenly 2 more appeared!
5.30.12 finally 3 tiny babies
Then they hatched. The were cool, but a bit creepy..
06.02.12 look! We have pin feathers!
Starting to look like real birds.
06.04.12 Eyes wide open!
I feel like they were watching us watch them!
06.06.12 Our down is almost gone
They are starting to look so cute.
06.09.12 Get us out of here, we’re squished!
They would take turns peeking out over the nest looking for mom.
06.10.12 Waiting for my turn for flight lessons
Mom would take them flying 1 or 2 at a time. It was fun to watch them follow her. These lessons lasted for a couple of weeks.
06.21.12 Taking turns learning to fly
Finally flying around the yard on their own. This was about 30 feet from the nest and they would fly back and forth to this bush.
