Saturday Critters ~ 131 ~

If you frequent here, you may remember that this wreath was home for some babies birds.
In early Spring, on my front door, those babies have fledged.
I washed the wreath, washed the front door and moved the wreath to the left of the door,
and hung it right on the house.

But momma came back...

and on May 25th I saw this, she was at it again.

By May 30th the nest was complete and two eggs had appeared.

On June 1st there were three.

I checked the nest every day and on June 12th there were two babies,

and on June 13th, we welcomed the third.

On June 14th they started doing this,

and on June 15th all three were awake and looking for food.

When I checked them on June 16th, everyone was sleeping...

and here's how they looked yesterday, June 17th.
They are already so much bigger and they are opening their eyes now.

Stay tuned, I will continue to follow them until the fly the coop!

Good morning Debbie. Your momma Robin has been busy! I love the cute babies, they are adorable. Great sequence of photos! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!

It's so amazing, isn't it to watch mother nature in all her glory. I'm so pleased you're sharing with us, Debbie. You're a good "watcher" of the babies. :)

Mama seems entirely too "busy" if you know what I'm sayin'! :-) Glad the youngsters are doing well. I'm sure you'll be happy when they've gone off to college, though!

I love following this event. You did capture some amazing photos. It is surprising that mother bird would nest there and also allow the photos. Thanks for sharing this; it's fun to follow. Hugs~
