Feathers and Long Necks!

We do enjoy watching our birds. They stretch their necks out now and beg, beg, beg!

I decided that I had to move in and get photos today. I was terrified, but I did it!

And I was rewarded by seeing a full nest of FEATHERS!!!!

Not Allowed in Our Backyard

We are not allowed in our backyard. The robin parents are CRAZY protective today. But, I did get a few shots from the safety of my house. I opened the door just wide enough for the lens. These birds have me FREAKED out!

The babies are super active today and are looking much more like birds. The nest must be really crowded at this point.

Dinner is served!

Down the Hatch!

Today was the first day that we've seen their eyes open.

I love the little guy on the right! He looks like a mad scientist!

Peril, Names and Lunch

For those of you tired of my obsessed robin postings, please note that it is at great peril that I get these photos. Again today I was dive-bombed and tonight Mama or Papa got so close to my head that wings/feathers ruffled my hair!

Today we decided to name the babies. Abby, Will and I each got to name one chick. (We didn't let Daniel choose because he would likely have said, "Garbage truck.")  I named my hatchling Persephone. Abby chose Velma. And Will chose Fred.

LUNCH!
