Midway up our spruce tree, Mama Robin has hatched two fledglings that we’re hoping will endure the weather and predators. So far, so good. I had to get on a step ladder to take this picture (quietly) while MR was out pulling up worms for lunch. Surprisingly, I kept my balance and didn’t fall into the tree, although Big Bore was standing close by to catch me, just in case. Ah, what we proud parents go through for a photograph of our babies.

I have bird babies, too! For the
2nd yr in a row, house wrens are nesting on the gutter right by our door to the deck. They even were "green" and just remodeled last yr's nest! The cats and I are keeping watch while the parents bring bugs to them. I named the parents Larry and Big (Bird, of course) with LB being the mom (hey, I have a female cat named George...). There's a little extra poop on the deck, but I don't mind.
WOW what a wonderful picture. I have a much sadder one of some storm damage, a nest that fell and two cracked eggs, I have yet to post. Glad your babies made it.
