Backdoor Babies!

Our Robin eggs hatched and they are growing fast!


Mommy Robin is never far away.



It looks like one of the eggs is not going to hatch. This is the second year we have had backdoor babies. Last year Mommy Robin built the nest on top of the wreath and this year in the center.

It's a full time job for both parents, I see them protecting the nest, finding food and feeding hungry babies. They spend about 16 days in the nest. Last year I actually saw one of the babies fly away! It's fascinating to watch them grow.
