Robins

For the second time this spring/summer, we have had robins lay eggs in a pine tree... same nest. Not sure if it is the same birds, but when the second set of robin's eggs were laid, I decided to take pictures. It's been fun to see them grow.
Starting off with 3 eggs... aren't they a beautiful color?!

Just hatched... not too cute.

The 3 little birdies... a little older.

We checked the nest frequently. One day we noticed there were only 2 babies in the nest. Found this little guy on the tree... ready to fly the coop!

The parents were always close by! Here's the daddy or mommy waiting to feed the little ones.
