The "Robin Cam"

Robins made a nest in the pine tree in our front yard. The nest is only about four feet off the ground, so it's easy to photograph. The kids love watching the progress.

The eggs, days before they hatched. Pretty blue (the picture doesn't do them justice). (6-16-99)

They have emerged, and their shells are nowhere to be found. The babies have their eyes closed, and they are bald except for a little tuft of feathers on the top of their head--they look like they have Mohawk haircuts! (We wonder if their mother approves.) (6-16-99)
