My in-laws have a beautiful deck where we get to enjoy many summer dinners. Lately, we've had to be a little more careful while dining and playing outside. A mother robin decided that the flower box was the perfect place to build her nest.

| We fist spotted one egg |

| And by the time we left she had 3 eggs |
Doug's sister Mary informed me that the mother bird ended up with four beautiful blue eggs in that tiny nest.

I found out that all four eggs recently hatched into little naked baby robins. What a crowded nest!
For us bird lovers, this blog was as refreshing as a summer shower. Thanks, Em!
ReplyDeleteNext time we visit I'll try to get pictures of the hatch-lings. I don't know how soon that will be though.
