The new quads
Mama Robin has done her job!! We have four ugly-ass robin babies in the tree outside! I haven't heard any sounds from them yet - I was becoming afraid that all the eggs had died! But there they were when I finally disturbed Mama to take a look!

Very nice pix! I just spent the morning in a pre-school classroom where we observed japanese quail chicks the whole morning. Must be spring! (I have to say, the quail are much cuter than the new-born robins tho!)
Great pictures! Mama robin had a great hatch rate, all the eggs hatched, right?
I hate to say it but the blue eggs are much prettier than the hatchlings. They ARE ugly!
Just wait until the robins mix up their days and nights. Hopefully they will be cuter then. Our local cardinal has that problem, the singing at 2AM problem. He better stay hidden.
I'm assuming those are all robins in there.... don't mockingbirds put their eggs in other nests? We have a lot of those around here!
Mockingbirds do but their eggs are bigger and so are the chicks I think.
I've heard that a mockingbird chick will push the other babies out and take over.
I think cuckoos do too but I'm not sure.
Wonderful pictures.
So exciting to have robin chicks in your garden! We once had a nest with two nestlings (local birds) - the kids and I watched them grow up and fly away. Very educational.
Yay for mother robin!!! :)
love the pics! Spring has sprung!
I see a pasta! (that's what I used to call hastas, and still do to my mother's amazement)
:)
No fair! My peony is a tiny fingertip sized dot on the soil - and YOURS is ready to bloom.
