robin red breast

I'm digging through the archives again. Reminiscing. A couple years ago a robin family built their nest in a spruce tree where the branch hung over our back deck. We tried to keep our distance from this little family as the parents took turns warming their eggs then keeping the babies fed when they hatched. Although I was itching to take copious pictures of their everyday activity I gave them their space and only intruded on one day when one of the robins was nestled in the nest.

Just tell me what you think. I'm a big girl.... I won't cry for long. ;-)
