Mrs. Robinson


A few weeks back, a robin started building a nest on a speaker we have on our front porch.  We've been keeping an eye on her as she has been incubating the eggs, and just a few days ago we finally spotted four tiny, fuzzy-headed babies!

Mrs. Robinson, keeping the babies warm.

Both mom and dad have been busy ever since, in a non-stop worm- gathering frenzy, keeping the little cheepers full.  It is absolutely hilarious to see their big beaks wide open begging for food. 

The nest is up high, so I haven't been able to snap any good photos of the babies quite yet, but hope to do so soon, as they get a little bigger.  In the mean time, Ben is installing a little web cam across from the nest, which hopefully will work to let us spy on the happy family from a better angle.  





Stay tuned for updates!
