baby robins have hatched

Remember these little blue eggs in the tree at Junior's house?



Well, He just emailed a photo from yesterday...the babies have hatched!



Aren't they funny looking?  Like a miniature raw Thanksgiving turkey with a head.

Awwww!

Hope they make it! I learned that baby robins stay in the nest only 14-16 days, but the parents continue to care for them for up to 4 weeks.

Also learned that the mother may use this same nest for another clutch of eggs this year and sometimes even a third clutch.

That's a lot of open beaks to fill!
