We're Empty Nesters!!...more Robin pics and a video!!

The little robins flew away on June 3rd. I took a few photos and videos just before I went out to work in the garden. When I came back in I just caught the last robin flying out of the nest. I managed to get a few photos of one of them sitting on our trellis by itself...and with the parent robin.

It is a little sad to see the empty nest....but it sure was a wonderful experience to watch this little family. I wonder if they will come back next year...... they would certainly be welcome!!

I have one last video to share.......I've combined 3 little video clips together...so it may seem a little long. Enjoy......

If you can't view it click..."here" Thanks so much for looking everyone .....and for your lovely comments!!.....I'll be back with a card tomorrow!!

Thanks for sharing-how lovely to have had them share your home!

I found a baby cardinal on Monday early evening and at almost dark it was still sitting on the same spot in the lawn. I thought something wasn't quite right and rather than let it become dinner I decided to bring it in for the night. It was the softest, sweetest, prettiest little bird! I almost didn't want to put it in the box and just hold it all night. But alas, something was wrong and the little fella didn't last but an hour. Over night we had violent thunderstorms and it poured like mad all day Tuesday. I like to think that at least I kept the baby warm, dry, and safe in it's final hour...sniff.

I'm glad your have reached a happy ending and I look forward to hearing that they have returned next year!!

All good things must come to an end they say...I love the fuzzy white feathers the baby robins have on their heads! They remind me of Alaistair Sim in the Christmas Carol when he wakes up Christmas morning and his hair is all over the place (LOL)! Thanks for sharing this little adventure--it was educational!
Hugs,
