Four Robin chicks hatched this spring and fledged this week.
|
 |
On Monday the chicks were so big that they were spilling out of their cereal bowl-sized nest.
|
 |
| By Tuesday morning the first chick had left. |
 |
Later that day the remaining chicks hopped out of the nest. One after another they flapped their wings, called out, and then glided to cover somewhere in our shed.
|
 |
| The dogs began to take notice and stopped chasing rabbits in favor of the easier targets. |
 |
| We heard the chicks calling from nearby shrubs throughout the day--momentarily safe. |
I love it! --hopping out of the nest, one after another! Great photo of the one on the fence with the next one in line to hop out. Awesome series! Good luck, chickies!
