May 19, 2009 - Robins Chicks Growing Fast |

The 3 robins chicks are starting to wiggle around in the nest. Each day they have more fuzzy feathers. Mom robin does not like me going near the nest and dive bombs me each time. I only take a quick peek using a mirror because they are not visible above the side of the deep nest yet. Mom was feeding them worms first thing this morning when I looked out at the nest.
During the past week, I got a brief look at a yellow-rumped warbler - a first ever to our yard - no photo yet. I'm hoping that he will stick around.
The baby chipmunk has emerged from his nest and was romping around the front yard yesterday.
The phoebe eggs still have not hatched, I am hoping any day now. Guess the chilly weather we've had is slowed things down a bit.
