Baby Robin comes a bobbin'
It has been a very windy season. A few days ago, the wind blew a bird nest out of the fruitless mulberry tree in our back yard. I went investigating a few days later, hoping to find some evidence of life. No broken eggs, no sign of death. I noticed some movement nearby in the garden and found a baby Robin hanging out there. Big daddy was nearby with a nice juicy worm to feed him. He was already a fledgling, so I thought that he might be able to fly soon.
I went looking for it today and didn't find it, so I assume he learned how to fly.
Robin's are very good parents, so I doubt that any harm came to it. They get bold, aggressive and very vocal when anything comes near their babies.
We had dug up my rose garden by the patio yesterday too (it was a mess, so I'm starting over) and the boys who were working in the garden said that the birds weren't even bothered by them working there as they (the birds) were delighted at all the worms and bugs that were exposed due to the soil removal. It's been a very busy few days in our backyard for our feathered friends!
