Baby Robins in My Backyard
We feed the birds around here, and have for years, so we have a large variety of birds that come by. But one type that we don’t actually see very often is the Robin.
It was for this particular reason that I payed special attention to a Robin that landed outside my living room window one afternoon. She was HUGE, as in pregnant huge. I wondered how she could even keep herself up in the air when she flew.
I mean, it was practically something to write home about, you know? I’d never seen one so ‘with child.’
Then I noticed that she was building a nest in a tree in my side yard about 10 feet above ground. Perfect.
We kept vigil.
This is our reward.

Wonderful photos. I’ve never seen a “pregnant” robin – I love birds. I don’t feed them because it would hard for me to be consistent and I don’t want them to depend on me. I’ve had birds nest on my property several times – on a porch light, and under an overhang, just as two example.
I have never seen a pregnant robin either! The pictures of the babies are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for visiting my blog today, Cathy. The baby robins are adorable. I go take peeks at them a lot throughout the day. Under mom’s watchful eyes, of course. 🙂
