2 of 3 Baby Robins Are Born!!

Robert had a flying lesson today and I went along for the ride. He had lots of take-offs and landing practice along with LOTS of wind. It was a beautiful sunny and warm day outside. We're sitting outside in this airport community where all of the homes have hangars for their airplanes in their backyards. Definitely something different!


When we got home, we had a lovely surprise, 2 of the 3 baby robins had been born. They are so tiny and vulnerable. The last egg should hatch in the next 24 hours if it is going to be born at all.

Here is the brood:
Mom's name is Dori (she's the one sitting on the fence post)


Dad's name is Bruce (he's the one in the nest in the photos above and below)


Baby #1: Sasongle (named by our niece Caroline)
Baby #2: Flower (named by our niece Emily)
Baby #3: Fluffy (as soon as it's born)
