Bird Watching: 2 Day Old Baby Birds

Last week I shared a photo here on our blog & on our Facebook page of a bird’s nest with 3 little Robin’s eggs and 1 hatchling. Well today…I am sharing another photo and in this one you will see that 3 of the 4 Robin’s eggs have hatched! Yay!!!

The 4th egg never hatched and within hours of us taking this photo, it completely disappeared from the nest. As you can see…the 3 baby Robin’s are doing fabulous and growing up quickly. Within one week…they will fledge the nest and be gone!

We had a female house finch set up a nest in one of our new birdhouses we have out in the yard and next week I will check it to see if perhaps she is nesting too. House Finches love to nest in hanging baskets, small bushes, shrubs and in bird houses that are close to your house…hence the name House Finch.

I love bird watching and I am pretty pleased that we can see these moms doing a great job at rearing their broods. This Robin mom is pretty attentive to those babies needs and trust me…they are well fed!!! She seems to always be out hunting down food and as soon as she hears them cry…she is back lickety split.
