Robin's eggs

If you look very closely in the first picture below, you can see a Robin in the center of the picture on a tree branch. She must have known that I have a sister named Robin that comes to visit because she made a nest in a tree in front of our house. She layed four eggs in the nest and she was a frequent visitor for about 4 weeks. Funny thing is that I never would have noticed if it wasn't for Cindy. Every time we opened the front door a Robin would fly out of the tree. I just thought she was getting berries or something out of the tree. After about a week of the same thing happening every time we opened the door, Cindy checked out the tree and discovered the nest.

The bottom three pictures are: (1) when the eggs first hatched (you can see their little beaks in the bottom of the picture) (2) as the four baby Robins started to grow and (4) this picture was taken the day before they left us. The pour babies were getting so big and fat that they were all stuffed in this little nest. We miss checking on them every day, but we are happy that they are finally out of that cramped nest :)
