Day six is also the end.

I got up this morning and went outside to check on the baby robins and the nest had been knocked down and the poor babies had perished. Momma and Daddy are off to try again somewhere else. I am so very sad and disappointed. I had become very attached.

May 18, 2010 Day 5 of the Baby Robins

Look what I found on my walk today

It was trash day today so I found lots of stuff.. The pine cones are for a project I am working on...the tray they are in is a bird bath/feeder. There are 2 really nice pots and a cute little mini wood bench that is going to look good with potted plants on it. The dishes were all found in one spot. The ones on the carpet are what I or my daughter are keeping. The ones in the box are going to the Salvation Army. What a good Monday... A lovely walk as well.. A little over 3 miles with my Mom who is visiting from California and my daughter Stephanie who is home from school sick.

Day 4 at the Nest

The little guys are starting to take shape. Momma doesn't fly far.. They chose a good nesting spot. Our compost pile is in sight of the nest, up the hill and full of worms!



Momma can't fit in the nest anymore. When I walked up today all I could see above the rim of the nest were open beaks.

Days 2 and 3 In The Life Of The Just Hatched

Really a miracle of nature!!



Looks only a Mother could love.



I came out to check the nest and Momma flew just far enough to get a good run at me. I snapped a nice picture of the side of the garage as I ran. May 15, 2010



The Parents were away when I went out this morning. I snapped off a couple before Momma came back screeching!!! I ran for cover. May 16th 2010.

The babies hatched

Baby birds are not the most attractive things in the world but they are a miracle all the same!



Sometime during the rains yesterday the baby robins hatched. Momma Robin was not too happy with me sticking the camera over her babies.

Look what the trash yielded today!

I had to go home and get the car for these items. I Love the cement stand! I am not sure what to make from the chicken wire but something will come to me. Hopefully my husband will like the cherubs as much as I do!
