Baby Birds

For the past two years we have had nests built in our trees.  It is so much fun to watch the nests being built, and then to watch the mother robin sit on her eggs, and then finally to have the birds hatch and hear the excited chirping every time the mother brings a worm.  
Last year we missed seeing the birds, but this year we made sure to get in the tree with a ladder and handy camera in hand.  
We took the pictures just in time too.  Today we saw the mother teaching two of the birds how to fly.  It won't be long before we'll be empty nesters again.

That's awesome! The Coston's had a nest in their wreath on their front door. It was so cute peeking in at those tiny birds.
