What a wonderful photo. I love it. Her pretty blue eggs make a fantastic bit of 'garden art' too.

hugs, Karen

tasymo, that's wonderful! We have a few robin's nests in our yard, too. But mostly that reminds me of my tattoo. My sister designed it for me. It has meaning to me because I have 3 kids and my name is Robin. Here's a pic (this is my shoulder/upper arm so it's not obscene or anything:)...

Tasymo What wonderful pictures... please post more as the eggs hatch!

I love, love, love this picture of your robin on the birdhouse! You could publish that I'm sure! It's the best birdhouse picture I've seen for a long long time! We DO want to see the babies! Thanks for posting to show us. What a wonderful spring!

Robins like to nest on a ledge....and that probably looked like a "ledge" she wouldn't have to share....

You should make a set of note cards out of that pic.

Here's my Robin picture...This was on the front of my house when I lived in town...in a grapevine wreath, right next to the front door.

What awesome pictures! I have to say, I'm pretty glad though that the eggs on my arm won't be hatching...poor little things are hideous...but precious at the same time!

Thanks for sharing! Wonder if the sparrows in my propane tank will be hatching soon.
Robin

What a great photo, and wow, they hatched fast, didn't they!! Beautiful, watch for snakes,though!!

Tas, no wonder Mother Nature made the eggs so beautiful.
LOL. Those tiny two are something else.

Robin, I meant to comment before that tattoo is neat and all the meaning involved with it to make it special.

hugs, Karen

Wow!! two little fur babies...rather feather babies!!!

Oh Wow, this is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing this, it brightens my day.

Sal

oh I love spring all the rebirth of earth and they are so precious but I have to admit only a mother can love those little babies (LOL)

Those babies are cute but I'm marveling at the craftsmanship of that nest. Aren't birds' nests the most amazing things? If any of you have ever made a basket or woven reeds, vines, etc., you know it's not easy. Here these birds pick up bits and pieces and make a marvelous home out of them. And they do it all without hands! lol! Pretty much makes them the original garden junkers, doesn't it?

I'm with you, Luna. The craftsmanship involved in a bird nest is nothing short of amazing. It never fails to blow me away to see one.
Looking at those two little 'bare' babies, made me laugh and think of the old comment about "nekkid as a jaybird".
Had to be a southerner that came up with that one, LOL.
And I'm poking fun as I was born in Alabama.

hugs, Karen

Hi Everyone!
I'm happy to report that my baby robins (three now) are doing fine. I couldn't get them to wake up for the pic. I think Mama Robin just filled thier little bellies and the were napping. You can see thier markings now.

Oh I just love the robins! Thanks so much for continuing to share the pictures. My little house sparrows in my propane tank have hatched. I know a lot of people don't like house sparrows but I don't care, I love any type of critter and who can fault a baby bird for being what it is? I'll take pictures and post them soon.

Thanks again for sharing the babies! Makes me want to take a marker and draw baby birds (now that they're cute with feathers LOL) hatchin' out of my tattoo!
The robin lovin' Robin in NC

Wow, they certainly are getting big fast aren't they!! Thanks so much for sharing the new pics, they're awesome.

Sal

These are just wonderful pictures, it just makes my day!
I love your Tattoo too Robin, what a lovely celebration of
your family.
I haven't really seen many Robins this year?
It has been kind of cold, but I don't know what's up.
Those nests are an engineering marvel thats for sure.
(Now to save these pictures!) JIll

I really enjoyed all your robin pictures. I can't believe they nested right there. I have a quail that is nesting on the ground in the wide open right near my chickens pen. That is weird to me. I saw a lot of robins this year but none nested in my yard. I wondered where they did nest. Those babies are so adorable. Thanks for sharing(-:

I just don't get those ground nesting birds....Anything can get them and they don't even have to try hard...just walk over and steal the eggs or have those poor babies for a snack. There are some birds at the park where my husband works...they'll nest in the gravel on the edge of the road.

Crazy things.

Robin,that first picture is sooooooo nice,but those babies~~~~~~~~~~~~as they say,"only a mother could love something that ugly.But thank goodness in a few weeks they'll be nice looking birds!!

I have baby finches on my patio,in the same b'house they used last year,but it's up too high for me to see in.We do watch them during the day feeding them,they sure stay busy with that --------------and noisy!!!! They constantly chirp all day long,til the sun sets,then they get very quiet.

I took a picture yesterday of the quail sitting on her nest. Had to share it with you(-:

We had a momma bird build a nest in last year's fern that was still hanging on our porch. I don't know what kind they were.

{{gwi:138391}}

This is what happened to them!

{{gwi:138392}}

The snake ate the babies and shed his skin at the same time!

This goose laid her eggs right along a fairly busy road in a small town in Minnesota.

{{gwi:138394}}

The poor thing ... it looked like something took a bite of her wing. While we watched her, she didn't leave her nest once. It is amazing what mothers will go through for their babies!

How in the heck did that snake get up there, shysue?
