Baby Robins

One of our neighbors has a robin's nest under their deck. Since the family knows about Evelyn's interest in all things nature, including birds, they invited us to come over and see the baby birds yesterday. The way the robins built the nest made for excellent viewing - we looked through the slats in the deck flooring for an overhead view of the nest and the babies.

It's a good thing we saw the baby birds when we did because they left the nest today. Also, while we were on our evening walk tonight, Evelyn found a robin's egg on the ground. Combine that with the bird book and birdwatching journal Evelyn received for her birthday, she is completely immersed in the world of birds right now.
