Despite Magpies, Ravens and a cat named Piper, we’ve raised another Robin family.
They use the same tree every year and it’s the babies from the previous year that return to make new babies. I have this birds great-descendant somewhere on my hard-drive.
The birds also have no fear of humans when they first leave the nest, letting me get up close and personal. Piper’s been kept in all day as they scamper around…
p.s. There’s four babies…
Update: Found one of their grandparents…
Aw! I love these pics and the fact that you have a robin family tree in your yard!!
Yea, it may go back a couple more generations. We’ve been here six years…
I remenber you guys telling me how you loved these babies being in that tree. It makes a person feel really good about these feelings every year. Keep up the good work.
