I have a lot of American Robins in my back yard. It seemed like only yesterday, the adults were running around, collecting nesting materials.

Of course, it was just a matter of time when the fledglings would be hopping around on the ground, chasing parents, begging for something wormy to eat.

I had to giggle at this little one.
The parent was quite dutiful in supplying worms. The little one didn’t have to even budge from its spot.

And then another worm….
And another…
Nonstop! That little robin’s belly had to be getting full!
