Robin's Nest

Spring of 2020 was so quiet due to Covid, with so few visitors, that a robin decided that our front porch was a perfect place to make a nest and raise a family:

 

Its eggs were truly robin's-egg-blue:

 

After two weeks, the eggs hatched and the mother became even more protective:

 

The hatchlings at 1 day old:

 

But they grow fast. Here they are at 4-5 days old:

 

The last picture I have of them is about 10 days old:

 

The nestlings leave the nest after about two weeks. I don't have pictures of them afterwards, but I have these cool pictures of adult American Robins from 2020:

 

 

 

Here are some more spring pictures. This is a Baltimore Oriole:
