    Look at this baby robin -- he was perched up in my wisteria and nice enough to pose for some photos. His mama was very nearby reassuring him and they would call back and forth to each other. Isn't he the sweetest little thing. I hope you can see his cute red feet.

    How cute!! We have Robins bit I have never found a nest or seen babies....but we also have 3 feral cats running around the neighborhood so I guess it's a good thing they are well hidden.

    I do love to see babies emerging at this time of year. Your little robin certainly has the AWWWW factor. :stew2:

    Oh Miss Daisy--what nice fotos you have taken. That little robin really is very cute. He looks so tame (innocent)--like he would bounce right over to your finger and perch on it if you would stick it out for him.

    I enjoyed seeing these very much.

    I'm glad you all liked seeing this baby. He (or she) was so sweet and his legs were bright red! I think he will do well. Mama was keepig very close tabs. It's amazing how in touch the adult robins are to the babies. I love to watch and listen to the interactions. The mama was very reassuring the whole time. I think she was saying -- Hold very still and maybe she won't see you!

    I think they are so adorable ...I had one a few years back in the yard and it was so great to have it walking around here before he could fly. Great photos...

    They are hopping all over the yard. 'Tis the season! They love the sprinkler when I turn it on. You can hear them talking back and forth to their moms too. They are cute.
