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

JULY 20TH, 2004...Eggs hatched (Day four)
...........................................................................

<<< Back home

Today the temperature has dropped considerably (not unusual in the north as we know). We have been known to have snow fall in these parts during the month of July. Least the babies are safe from those darn mosquitos.

Princess Ruby seems to know the babies need to be kept warm today. There's a couple photos showing her feeding this morning and then sitting on them to keep them warm.

Day four movie As you can see in the movie it is windy, their little feathers blowing in the wind. The crackling noise is the tin roof above the nest. Hear the Crow in the background..there have been more of them around. I don't think they could snatch the babies if they wanted to though, there is very little room between the roof and the nest. I can barely get my camera in there to take photos.
