Title: The Empty Nest
Post by: Henry on June 05, 2008, 09:17:05 AM
Donna, down at the town office had told me that Baby Robins didn't stay in the nest long, but had no idea they grew so quickly.  It seems like just a couple weeks ago I saw the mother robin sitting on the eggs up under the eaves on the roof in her nest.  Last week all I saw were a couple of beaks coming out of the nest and last night looked like a couple of regular robins - This morning I see nothing, so must be they have left the nest.

My daughter was telling me that if there is a weak or sickly bird, it gets pushed out of the nest - Doesn't seem quite right, but I guess that is the way they maintain the propagation of the species.
