My Robin

I'm so excited to have a robins nest in my back yard! I usually have one in my front door wreath, but she hadn't been there in a couple of years & I've missed her. It was always a hassle to have her there as she would always dive bomb the poor mail lady, so we had to move the mail box. She pretty much gave everyone who went in & out a hard time so I'm glad the nest is in the yard now. She has 4 eggs in there & I can't wait to see the little ones! The mama seems pretty tolerant of me getting a few feet away & she doesn't seem to be bothered by the dogs barking. Maybe she likes us?? lol I just hope they don't fall out when they're born cuz it just breaks my heart!

Don't you just love to watch the nesting/fledging process right in your backyard? I love it when the babies follow the adult birds around the yard begging for MORE FOOD!!
