At first, we thought we had just one baby robin, but after awhile, I saw a second beak, and last week, a third one. Talk about scrawny and all beak!!!
The last several days, we've really enjoyed watched those babies grow and get stronger. There was lots of scratching in the nest as they grew their feathers. By yesterday, one robin was perched on the side of the nest, so we figured it was about ready to go.
This morning, I only saw two, and actually mistook one for one of the adults at first. It was also perched on the edge. The other one appeared to be pushing it out. At some point, it flew off.
I woke Liz up so she could see the last one, who now also was perched on the side. He was smaller than the other two and didn't seem to be as developed so figured he might remain, but, suddenly, off he flew.
