An American Robin has a small nest that I see on my daily walk. I am totally fascinated by her tiny family, which now consists of 3 chicks. They look just like this stock photo. Momma is very attentive & sits on the nest keeping them warm.
What worries me very much is that the nest is at eye level and, therefore, vulnerable. Why the heck didn’t they build a nest much higher up in the tree?
The little flufflets are so adorable. I pray to the Dear Lord to keep them safe until they fledge, which, amazingly, will be when they are 14-16 days old.

Anyway poor momma was scared by me walking down the sidewalk so I had a peek into the nest. Three little blue eggs! I even touched them & they are so small.
Thrilling to see this today. I shall carefully monitor the proceedings.
