WE HAVE BABIES! Four to be exact. As my husband was leaving for work yesterday, he took his usual peek into the nest and instead of the four eggs, he saw a mass of soft pink flesh with a few little down feathers here and there. The mama and daddy robins have been busy feeding and keeping them warm. However, with our weather we've been having lately, the daddy has been standing on the side the of nest, panting, keeping watch, rather than sitting in it. By late afternoon our porch is in full sun and the birds are completely exposed to it. I placed a short cake pan of water on the porch to hopefully give them a little relief, but I haven't seen them use it yet. May just be a naive attempt to help on my part. Well, I hope to hear some baby robin chirping soon.
