Robin's Nest

May 11th, 2011
A robin took up residence on my balcony a few weeks ago and I have been having a blast watching the progress! Yesterday I went out there and saw that two of them had hatched! This morning another one was hatched, after working on it all day yesterday! Just thought maybe you'd enjoy the pictures :) I plan to follow their progress on my 365 project at least every other day.








And don't worry I am VERY careful when taking pictures and NEVER touch the nest. I sneak out there when the mom is on food runs, and she always comes back to her babies.

Here are some that aren't on my 365 :)






The forth one is starting to hatch!


All four of them have hatched!

Wonderful! I had so much fun documenting two baby hummingbirds growing up and eventually leaving the nest. I'm pretty sure that they've stayed in the area and are the ones that fly around and hover over my front steps regularly. Hopefully these little ones will grow up accustomed to seeing your face and camera as well. Going to follow so I can watch the updates!

I love robin eggs...so pretty! Baby birds are certainly not the cutest looking things when they first hatch, are they? :)

I added some more shots that I have taken, but can't add to my 365 since I don't have an ACE membership :)
