We found this nest outside our front door a few weeks ago. I snuck up there and took some pictures and this is what I found.
Three eggs inside the robin's nest. How exciting! The mom bird was very nervous and kept flying to the nearest tree. The dad bird was very protective of the nest. He would stay on the roof or nearest branch and chirp at us.
A week later, two baby robins. Don't know what happened to the third. Bad egg, maybe.
A few days later, they already have feathers.
The dad bird keeping a very close watch. He doesn't like me sticking my camera into the nest. The mom is nowhere to be seen.
A few days ago, they are filling up the nest. They don't make any noise. We never heard them chirping.
Today they're gone. No mom or dad or babies. It was fun while they were here. Something to watch and learn from. The nest was up too high for the girls so they had to rely on me to take the pictures. Now what are we going to do the rest of the summer?

Very cool nature story. Maybe you can find some baby mice in your antique oven in the kitchen and watch them grow up.
