Learning to Fly

Our house has always been a haven for baby birds. We have several species, from blue birds to robins that return each year to the same little nook and cranny somewhere around our house to make a new nest.

In all the years that we have been here, we have yet to witness the new babies. We see the nest, and the little eggs, but never the actual babies.

Until this past Sunday.

That afternoon we noticed a baby robin who was learning to spread his/her little wings.

Mommy was constantly in motion and all over the place doing anything she could to entice the little bugger to move and take off, but to no avail!

I could not help but wonder if I will find myself in the very same predicament one day!
