Very nice sunrise. So vibrant! Your robins are cute. We have a dove with new babies in an outbuilding, sort of a shed/workshop. All work near there has stopped. This is the third pair of doves. The first two pair abandoned the nest and their babies died. I hope this sweetie successfully raises her babies.
Many birds raise 3 or more broods sucessfully each year, robins amongst them. However, only about 40% of robbins' nests sucessfully produce young. Hopefully, this pair will survive! Here's a link about robins - http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/american_robin/lifehistory. This website is an excellent source of information on all kinds of birds. Maria, I told you that cedar waxwings can get intoxicated from eating overripe honeysuckle berries - well, so can robins!
I thought Word Verification would be enough to discourage spammers, but evidently not. So I'm turning on Comment Moderation for awhile to see if that helps. Please don't be deterred from leaving real comments. I love them!
