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!

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!
