On a wreath by our back door a Momma Robin made a nest, artfully weaving her nest material into the artificial leaves of the wreath. She is so cute. We pull up to the house and there she'd be, sitting in her nest on top of our wreath. We disturb her every time we come in and out.
Momma Robin watches in a nearby tree until she sees it's safe, then returns to sit on the eggs. She really has no defense, so the reason she flies away is to divert the attention away from the nest.
We came home yesterday from our Memorial Day breakfast up the canyon to see the eggs had hatched. There are 4 pink little fuzzballs in the nest ~ our Memorial Day babies!
They have a face only a mother could love! It has been fun to watch her. I am amazed with how she made the nest and how she is now caring for her newborn babies. MOMS ROCK!
