Every morning since spring, the Robins nest outside our living room window has been occupied by babies. Its so neat to watch from the time they lay the eggs until the mother teaches them to fly and chirps and follows them around the yard until they do. The second batch of babies, she spent all day teaching one at a time how to fly. We watched as she just guided them along until they finally flew. I love the stage where they are losing the fluffy feathers. The little one on the right looks like he has horns because he still has some little fluffy ones.
The first batch we had, we thought they were falling out of the tree. So we scooped them up and put them back in the nest only to find out they were being taught to fly. ha ha So we watched as she taught them. The second time around we knew what she was doing. It was such a great site to see. I just love nature.
