The Robin on my Porch ... They've Hatched!

JULY 19TH, 2004...Eggs hatched (Day three)
...........................................................................

<<< Back home

9:30am, all four babies seem to be fine. It's getting easier to make out the shapes now in the photos and movies. I see a lot of action from 3 of the babies, but one, probably the last one hatched, doesn't seem to have the same energy.

Today is another beautiful day in Kirkland Lake, but the mosquitos. are out there in full force and they are bugging the poor babies. Mosquitos. here are big enough to almost carry a baby bird away! haha

I want to add a photo of the mom and dad sometime today as well, but they were nowhere around this morning. Probably off on some short vacation and left the mosquitos to babysit! ;)

A short movie of day four In this clipping, they must of thought I was mom, because for a quick second three open their mouths for food. I have no idea what that loud noise was before the car went by either :(
