Well, our little feathered family is hatched and almost ready to leave the nest...
~ the robins, not my kids, that is...
Momma bird scoped out the perfect setting - free rent, food and water - and what a view - overlooking the golf course.
...sheltered under the deck, safe from sun, the rain, and the wind...
She sat and warmed them, and knitted little birdie booties...until one day.... Groucho, Chico, and Harpo were born! (Zeppo must have missed the stork flight)
..as the days pass - Momma keeps busy pulling worms, regurgitating, and feeding....
until eventually even Momma got booted from the nest -
For baby birds, just like kids - take over the "hood" and make a mess of everything...
(notice the little white dooties on the wall there...)
Pretty soon, Momma will be living out the empty nest syndrome....
~ by celebrating with a cup of coffee and a fresh worm quiche.

Oh how neat you could take progressive pictures like this! I am amazed. Thanks for sharing.
They look like grandmama~~i kid!
Yeah, save me some of that quiche
to all - Momma made the one mistake to make this nest almost eye level under the deck - i snapped the pics, as she called wildly from the tree behind me. the chicks are getting good about closing their eyes as the flash goes off - so i try to take them without using the flash....
glad you enjoyed this small mystery of spring, that is unique to the cycle of life. I am too.
Great photo montage, though I'm late to the birthday party. Isn't spring grand?
