The Family of Robins
We have babies! Yesterday one of the robins hatched.
This morning the other one was sitting in the nest. Or being SAT ON in the nest! It looks like we've got a sibling slumber party.
I don't know what happened to the two other eggs. I have looked around the ground beneath the nest, but there is no evidence of dropped eggs or baby birds. Nature takes care of life and death somehow---it is a mystery.
Mom and Dad Robin were VERY protective this morning. I was almost attacked at my truck by one of them. I don't think they are very interested in the photos I am taking! They were not only very vocal toward me, but they both swooped down at me, long after I had left the vicinity of the nest!
More updates as more feathers appear.

Was wondering about the baby hatchings. Maybe you should wear a construction hat for the next few days? :-)
