    I found this little baby Robin in my flower bed this morning. He was making so much noise I had to see what was going on. He was calling his parents. I am not sure if he could fly but he can sure run pretty good...He ended up in the front flower bed and his parents were keeping an eye on him and feeding him... I think he is so precious...

    Awwwww cute! I love the third picture!
    It looks like he has flight feathers, may be he just sint strong enough yet. Can you see a nest anywhere?

    I haven't found a nest anywhere but I have so many flowers and trees, it could be hidden. The parent birds were keeping an eye on him so he must be close to flying I hope...keep your fingers crossed for this little guy.

    I had several Robin's nests in the yard this year, and the babies all seemed to start learning to fly at the same time. There were birds everywhere, and boy were they NOT happy to see me! LOL

    What a cute little thing he is. It is always so nice to see fledglings. This little guy doesn't seen to have such a long way to go to get to adulthood, does he.
    You took some very good fotos here, Sherry. I could get a very good look at him.
    Thank you so very much for these fotos.

    I haven't seen him so I am hoping he is flying around some where....It was so neat to watch him in the flower bed.
