First there was one.
We have learned a lot in three and a half weeks!
The nest was built on June 10. Three eggs were laid soon after, and two babies hatched on June 25.
My husband said we should remove the nest: they will make a lot of noise, they will make a mess, and the parents will dive bomb us when we are in the front yard. I held my ground. I wanted to watch what happens!
Well, it turns out he was wrong! The only mess so far has been cherry pits(there's an orchard near by). The babies make no noise at all, even when they are feeding.
I can work in the flower bed directly in front of the nest while Mom repeatedly flies in and feeds her babies.
She sits on the nest and will tolerate me coming in close to take photographs. I can even climb on the porch chair to check on the babies progress when she is away.

My Robin
I've been watching this precious young Robin for a couple of weeks now. Actually, there are two of them but I will call this one Rob.
I wish I could have been there to see it's first flight but for now, I observe how brave he is in his continuing to gather goodies flying from limb to limb with a bit of a wobble still.
It is July 7, 2020. He doesn't let me bother him at all, the two are so much fun to watch.
I am not sure which is female or male but love the name Rob for now. These beauties live here on an island, Drummond Island, in Drummond Island, Michigan.
I just had to share this sweet feathered friend. Please enjoy!

Strange looking baby robin?
Our birdbath must have been soothing for this Robin! I checked on it quite a few times and it was still sitting there!
I know it was humid but it must have really enjoyed the water! But wouldn't it have been hot too? It would have been wet though!
Or do you think it landed there and then didn't know how to get out? It's eyes moved looking at me when I was taking the picture!
They were very bulging eyes! It was kinda creepy as you usually don't get that close to them! Maybe I should have put in bubbles! Then it could have enjoyed a soothing bubble bath and had smooth feathers too!
Do you think it was a baby robin? It looked fairly large and all puffed up! What does that mean? And it didn't move but I've heard that they do that. Very curious.

Joe's family
Outside on my deck I have a pergola and Momma robin built a nest in it. It wasn't the ideal place to build a nest as it was narrow to raise a family of 3.
So Momma took care of her young babies in the nest despite its inability to hold her babies.
Unfortunately, one fell out of the nest (it was completely formed but without a solid coat of feathers) and it was lying on the deck.

On the 20 of December 2018 I found myself homeless, all I had was my pop up tent and pushbike.

Beautiful Red Robin’s Bathing In The Sun
The Beauty of Robins Bathing in the Sun
Early in the morning, these beautiful birds were chirping so loudly, it was so captivating.
Noticing their bright red color on its chest grabbed my attention. It was such an angelic view.
The sun hitting the trees the brightness of the whole image was so pure, nothing compares to actually looking at these birds playing in the water puddles from the sprinklers in the grass, in person rather than what you see in just a captured image.
They flapped their wings up and down, happily gave me a sense of freedom.
