1 baby Robin is OFFICALLY a fledgling!!

When I went outside to take a picture today, the Mommy Robin was in the yard watching me very closely. I snapped a pic of the babies in the nest, then 1 of them flew out! The fledgling actually went into our little gazebo and was stuck in the netting. So, I had to try and help it out. The parents were not happy with that. Anyway, the baby eventually hopped out and flew around a little bit. Not sure where it is now....it went into the neighbor's yard! It was really cool to watch the little fledgling out and about :)

May 16th--almost fledglings

Right before it started raining, I was able to take a few pics of the babies today:


' They are getting so BIG and will soon be fledglings hopping on the ground!! Can't wait :)

May 13th check up on the babies!

The Mommy Robin, was wide awake and cherping at me while I took the picture. She watched from our fence:


2 of the 3 babies were sleeping when I got a chance to take a picture today:





Mother's Day pictures of Robins

After we celebrated Mother's Day (which was a wonderful time :), we played in the back yard. I had to check on the baby Robins and here are some pictures from then:







On a sad note, Steve found one of the babies on the ground. It died. So sad. It was a lot smaller than the other 3 still in the nest, so there must have been something wrong with it. I know there's nothing we could have done.....but I still feel bad.
