Baby robins as photographed by my husband. He had to get something out of the shed so he quickly held his camera over the nest while the adult robins were frantically chirping at us, and got out of there quickly so they could relax. We see two babies, but I think there’s another one there, too, maybe on the upper right? But I can’t tell whether that baby is alive or not. The photo makes them look bigger than they actually are.
I imagine they’ll fledge soon.
In other bird news, late in the afternoon, as I was opening the front door, I saw at least two or three Carolina wrens. They were on the maple tree, flying down to the ground and then back up to the bark. I also heard their song. In my research on them, I read that after the babies fledge, the family often hangs out in the same area for a while as the parents help the babies learn to find food. I’m so happy to have seen them for a brief time. That was a gift I sorely needed.
More rain and thunderstorms today and tomorrow. Don took on too much outside work yesterday, so I’ve persuaded him to take it easy for a couple of days. Truth be told, I didn’t have to work too hard to persuade him.
I’m going to paint today.
Stay safe.
Happy Thursday.
