And They’re Gone

Fledgling Robins

June 24, 2020

It happened yesterday. Our fledgling robins fled the nest. It happened while we were out and Chris and I did not even get to say goodbye or watch them flee. When we returned, it was quiet and they were all gone. Apparently all four of them made it out successfully.

I took this image the day before and it shows how tightly they were packed in the nest. It has been fun to watch them develop from egg to feathered bird. We do miss the activity that has surrounded the nest these past couple of weeks. But, we have the use of our porch back.

Well, now, we can reclaim the hanging basket and dispose of the now empty nest. We are truly empty nesters now.
