We have a pair of Robins who have nested in the woods down by the pond. The Mam bird laid 4 of the most amazingly blue eggs last week and a couple of days ago they hatched.....two hatched the day before yesterday and then yesterday the other two hatched.....Lloyd has been creeping down to take pictures (braving the amazingly huge mosquitoes that are swarming around down there.
The egg shells have sadly vanished...I was hoping to find one on the floor but am guessing Mama Robin ate them to restore her calcium levels.......
We're very protective of our baby birds ...as is Mama Robin...so the children and dogs aren't allowed in that woods right now...their rope swing is down there but they will have to wait until the babies leave the nest :)
