Hey there, Steve and Peter, thanks for joining us in the weekender.
Speaking of BIRDS, there was a robin nest that was built in my neighbor's yard between a lilac bush and our fence. Some of their wild bushes grow through to our side and as I was tearing them down from OUR side of the fence, I spotted a nest with three perfect blue eggs. We suspected it was a ROBIN's nest but were surprised that it was only about 4 feet off of the ground. One day, a dead baby robin was lying in our driveway, no feathers, not even any fuzz. But for the last two weeks now, I have been carefully peeking to see the remaining two babies growing. I did not want to scare them out of their nests so after taking these photos on May 31st, I kept my distance other than a careful peek now and then.
I just now grabbed my camera and decided that I was going to attempt to get an updated photo to share with you but upon making it through the heavy greenery that has now taken over making it impossible to take a shot unless moving stems and leaves aside, I discovered that the duo had now embarked on a brand new world. It is just as well, I would have felt terrible if I had scared them prematurely from their nest.
I love the first image with the one sleeping looks like baby Einstein with its mouth open ready for a tasty juicy worm to wake him up.
