Bird Watching: Newly Hatched Baby Robins

For the past 10 to 12 years I have really been into bird watching and I love it when I find a new bird’s nest in my backyard with tiny little eggs in it. Well, we spotted this Robin’s nest about 2 1/2 weeks ago and low and behold…there were eggs in it!

Yesterday when we checked the nest (mom was out hunting for her next meal) we discovered that one of the baby robins hatched! Yay!!! Hubby thinks it looks ugly all naked like that but I think the new baby looks adorable. Don’t you?

From past experience, these babies don’t hang around for long. Within 12 to 14 days they will fledge the nest and be gone. They double their size and double their feathers every day…you would be amazed at how quickly they develop. So, within 12 to 14 days, this little baby will be gone and out in the adult world fending for himself.

Well there you have it…another “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post here on the Classy Chics blog. Do any of you enjoy bird watching? If so, what are some of your favorite types of birds to watch?
