We Have Robins

Pretty much every Spring, a robin wants to build a nest on the window ledge outside of our bathroom window.  They usually give up after a few days of bringing twigs and grass over.  This year, I walked into the bathroom and found that there was a complete finished nest just outside the window!

Even decorated with a blue ribbon!

But it seemed that they were not using it for a week before I found a robin was sitting/nesting in it.

I decided to put up a piece of cardboard so the poor bird wouldn't fly away every time I went into the bathroom!

It is easy enough to see around/peek at the birds, but gives them more of a feeling of safety.

On April 24th, I noticed there were 2 eggs in the nest, on April 25th, 3 eggs, and on the 26th, there were 4 eggs ☺

Here is the nest as seen from outside:

This is the nest on May 2nd:

I was able to sneak this picture of mommy robin sitting on the nest from the corner of the house:

I was trying to get another picture of the babies when Mommy came back with food!

She flew off again and I got the picture I was trying for:
