Every May we have a robin who throws himself into our dining room window over and over and over again. I have always figured that he is protecting a nest from the "enemy bird" he sees not realizing it is his own reflection. However we've never seen a nest. Well, this year he and his mate decided that the cherry tree in front of the window was a good place to take up residency. We noticed the Mama bird sitting on a nest a few weeks ago. Through all the rotten rain we've had she sat and sat and sat.
We never did see any eggs but on Saturday I looked out and this is what I found:
So, now I am a bit obsessed with taking baby bird pictures. Here are the latest.
You can't really tell but she's feeding one of the babies here.
I tried to get both the nest and the Mama in this one. You can just make out one of the babies in the bottom right hand corner.
Hard working Mama!
