They grow up so fast!


By Ellen Leigh | May 20, 2011 | Category wildlife garden

It seems like just yesterday that Mr. and Mrs. Robin built their nest on the porch light and dropped 4 perfect little eggs in the bottom. In no time the little ones hatched out and started to grow as momma and daddy brought them juicy worms and other insects. Follow their progress below as they triple and quadruple in size, grow feathers, and open their little eyes.

Momma and Daddy have learned to identify the ‘paparazi’ and fly at me whenever I am outside

It will probably only be a matter of days before the little ones leave the nest and follow their parents around learning to find food, I hope to grab a few more pictures before they do, but I really don’t want to lose an eye.
