A Bird in the Bush

The robin nest that I posted last week featured two blue eggs.  I checked it yesterday and sure enough - they hatched.  And it is remarkable the size the little chicks have put-on in about a week - give or take.

On Sunday I knew momma was attending to her family when she darted from the nest as I walked past.  I didn't see her yesterday at all.  Which doesn't necessarily mean she's not around - only that I hadn't seen her.

I did find this in the yard - evidence of a robin nailed by a raptor...

Ugh.
