What a cute baby! It’s funny how Robins are so common that we often overlook them as we search for more unusual birds. Still, a baby is a baby, and they are all cute. Thanks for sharing.

Love seeing them both, the young ones are so vulnerable. I have not gone near the babies, but have chased a cat or two away to protect them.

  Thank you, Jane! This little fledgling was practicing flying spurts from tree to picnic table to tree to ground. It was adorable, especially watching Momma trying to keep up! 🙂

Lovely shots Donna. It is interesting how God designed in many bird chicks the speckled grey-white appearance as a camouflage which makes them more difficult to discern from the air by predators, as does the brown back which is a feature of many young birds.

  Thank you, Ashley! Yes, so wonderful their camouflage coloring for protection when they’re most vulnerable. 🙂

This is the best part about birding in the spring is all the babies are being born, providing they don’t get ripped out of their nest by another bird. We’ve had Carolina Wrens and Northern Cardinal babies survive this year so we have lots of activity going on.

  Catching the brood action in the Spring is really quite special. How great to have young ones to entertain you!

    Especially during a pandemic. Our nest of 3 wren chics hatched and fled at the height of our lockdown. Entertained us every evening. I’m putting a post together on it. 😊
