Nest

This spring we had a mama and papa robin set up their nest in our weeping pine tree. We all had so much fun watching them build the nest, lay and hatch their eggs, then feeding the little ones. Their journey here finally culminated today when the little chicks flew off and into the world- except for one chick that only made it into the yard before Tyson decided to play with it. It sat stunned in the yard for quite a while, then hopped over to the fence. Cahl managed to gently pick it up and carry it back to the nest with some lacrosse sticks, all while mama and papa screeched and called in all the neighborhood robins to come surround him and screech at him, then mama and papa sat nearby for the rest of the day watching over it. The baby was gone the next day, so hopefully it recovered enough to fly away safely!
