Robin Family 2012

Yesterday we discovered that we have another set of robins nesting under our deck!!! Some of you probably remember how I documented the first robin family's journey 2 summers ago. Nobody used this nest last summer, but we were delighted that it's being used again now. :) And FOUR eggs this time!! It'll be interesting to see how four babies fit into this nest . . . it seemed tight enough with three, last time around! I wonder if the robin parents enlarged it a bit before laying the eggs? :)

And, at the risk of boring everyone, I will be documenting this family's journey too. ;) We'll be checking on the eggs every day, and I'll begin the series when they hatch! I would really love it if we actually got to see some of them hatch this time, as we missed that part last time around.

I love birds & I'm glad you're going to document this journey :-) Aren't the eggs the most beautiful shade of blue?

We are looking forward to seeing your posts with the robin family! Aren't the eggs pretty; they look like Easter eggs! :)

You have such a good vantage point to picture everything. So much easier than when they're way up high! I'll be looking forward to your photos- it won't bore me!

This NEVER gets boring to me. Document it and share. I'm pea green with envy that we have no nesting Robins under out deck! :)
