Aren't they so cute---I just want to pick 'em up and hug 'em!

Dad has been working outside near this tree and WOW have the parents ever been dive bombing his head.



And here is the momma?, sitting on her babies.

She was eying me up good, but didn't fly away--and didn't attack me.

wow. great pic's! how high is the nest? did you climb a tree like a monkey with a camera? he he

Actually the tree is right in front of my moms front porch....which is elevated up some steps....so I didn't climb at all.

Here is the view of the front of their house. It's not great, but see the brick house on the right? There are 4 Thuja trees in front of it, and they are in one of those.

are there 3 babies?

There are at least 3, but I believe there is 4 in total--you just can't tell from this picture. But when I was standing there I'm sure I counted 4 of them.

Great pic Loz. They sure fill up that little nest don't they?

those are soooooo cute! I've been picking up their shells around the yard, but I don't know where they are nesting.

When the babies hatch. The parents take the empty shells and fly off with them, dropping them far from the nest to distract predators.

I wondered where the shells from my babies went. I was worried the dreaded black snake ate them along with the babies.


Do robins use the same nest again?
