Robin Report #3

In our May 3 post we mentioned that a Robin had made a nest but we weren't sure there were any chicks in it. In our May 10 post we reported that there were actually 4 chicks under the Robin.

Today we're reporting all the chicks have flown the coop! Or at least left the nest. The birds were all in the nest when Karen took the dogs out for their walk this morning but the nest was empty when she returned.

Shortly after that, Karen noticed one of the young birds taking a break from his flight lessons. He'd been resting on the rail of our back deck and Karen took this picture when he hopped up on one of the posts.

We're not sure where they're hiding out, but mom Robin is still spending her entire day yanking worms out of our yard to feed them.
