I woke up this morning and looked in on the Robin Family and all were gone but one. I went and got the camera and look who was there, no one. The babies were getting fairly big and look like they barely fit in the nest. Two seemed to be a crowd. I 'm glad we were able to see nature at work. This is one thing I hope made an impression on the kids. While saying that I kind of was thinking "how it will be when the kids leave their "nest"?

It's day 23, we've seen the chicks break themselves out into this new world. They've known what to do. They have made it through wild wind, and hard rain, yet they have been very well taken care of. We wonder how much longer we have to enjoy natures company. I know Dora loves watching this family.

Chicks, you are growing SO fast!

I guess they are officially robins now!

Tori, took this picture with the little one looking right into the camera. She has been so excited to check on them every day she gets home from school.

The chicks are looking pretty grown up.

I wonder how much longer they'll stay in the nest.









Tori was so excited to look at the birds today. We went shopping yesterday and got binoculars for the kids to use. They are getting interested in nature now that we have Robins at our window. This is right up Tori's ally. I had to take this picture though. This is our TORI, Miss Nature.

Mommy Robin usually flies away when I stand at the window, or she turns her back and ignores me. Today she was just standing on the edge of the nest, admiring her little ones, and instead of flying away, she turned and looked right at me.

Then, she gave a horrendous loud shriek and flew off!

The chicks are looking so healthy. We have noticed that they look different. One has a stripe of yellow feathers that go from the center of the head to the far right of the right eye. The other is a bit more little and has no stripe.

This was a day that the little ones slept. Not much has gone on....Sleep



The feeding begins! The parents have done well taking the chick that fell. The greatest part of that is the one that fell didn't get hurt. I also noticed today that the chicks eyes were open. They've grown so much.
