The Robin's eggs hatched last week.
Mama bird is still watchful
They were not much to look at
Constantly screaming for food
But look how big they got in about five days!
Last night we had the most awesome owl sightings. We'd been hearing them for the past few weeks, but had gotten only brief glimpses. The last night we were at the neighbors for dinner and saw an adult Barred Owl land in a nearby tree. We got up to get a better look and down to the fence flew a baby! Then another! Gah, no camera so I swiped this picture from the Internet.
They babies looked JUST LIKE THAT! All fuzzy heads and huge black eyes. Have you ever seen anything so damn cute? The neighbors are under strict orders to CALL with another sighting so I can get pictures.
( p.s. We did find time for a vacation in JUNE! More later.)

They are adorable.
We have a nest in the rafters outside the front door--I never see them, but I hear them and see the droppings!
OMG, I LOVE owls. My son is a little freaked out by the ones at our local zoo and I will say they stare sort of, um, intently at him. Like they might want to eat him!
I love owls too. We had one that frequented our barn when I was growing up. I was always comforted by those familiar hoots.
This is the first year in a long time that I don't have a nest. I'm blaming it on Brinkley.
You SAW an OWL? I am envious. I only see a glimpse when they swoop past--never get a clear look at one. Lucky you! Great robin pics:)
