The kids and I have been watching a Robin’s nest for the last few weeks. I don’t remember who discovered the eggs, but since found, we have been peeking inside every few days.
Today, we asked Mark to move the ladder for us for the last time. Audrey ran inside saying that four birds just fell out of the nest. She told me two ran into the woods, but two were just sitting there.
Even though Momma bird kept shrilling scolding us to keep away, we took a few pictures. We never saw the little ones fly, but we laughed at how they ran! If we go by the nest, Momma bird scolds us still, so we know that fledglings are around somewhere.
We don’t think the babies will return to the nest. We will keep watching for them though.
