Comments (6)It most likely is an older baby cardinal. The photo above is a very young bird. What you have described sounds like a bird that is at an age between the fledgling photo above and an adult. We have many here in NJ and it took me awhile to figure out what they were. It takes some time for there color/markings to come in. They have a similar pitch to their call as an adult, but the pattern is a "tweet tweet tweet" or "peep peep peep". They are very vocal when hungry and the parents are usually close by. We had a mating pair that had a female and male baby. The father would constantly be feeding the male, but the female baby was so much more self-sufficient. She would eat seeds off the ground with her mother. Eventually the mother went over and gave the male baby a peck. It was hilarious!!...See MoreWhat looks like a robin but not quite?
Comments (4)After looking at a bazillion pictures of robins, towhees and waxwings, I think they were robins after all! I never noticed that robins have a white area under the tail that can be seen when they are flying. Also I must have confused the white area around the eyes with what I thought were stripes on the head. Just now I went out and saw some robins, very healthy, chubby robins. Must have been them....See MoreDoes this look like a Red Robin mini dwarf seedling?
Comments (8)stevie, in earlier comments on this thread, I explained that the plants are being grown under a a four tube grow light fixture. The T5 lights in this fixture are designed for growing plants, providing the proper color spectrum for strong plant growth, and I do grow the seedlings right up under the bulbs. I do not believe the problem, in my current situation, are the lights nor the placement of the seedlings under the lights. The stems on these seedlings are sturdy, it's just the height of the seedlings that caused me to think I might not be growing the specific dwarf tomato 'Red Robin'. I grew this tomato for the first time last year but didn't take photos so I've nothing to compare to this years growth. I began to question if the seed purchased as Red Robin this year is producing a Red Robin tomato plant so asked for a another set of eyes to take a look. Thank you for your interest. I learn so much from contributors here in the forums. Your advice regarding the conditions for growing good strong plants under lights is spot on but I don't think it applies to this situation.
