Beak Count


When we approach the lilac tree in the courtyard garden at the farm, Mom and Dad Robin put up a noisy fuss. Lo and behold, they've been busy producing another batch of late summer baby robins.

I count three beaks in this photo but can only see two heads. Ed served as Assistant to the Camera Person as he held the branches so I could poke the Sony point-and-shoot toward the nest. Even these little bird guys are cute, pudgy babies.

  1. What a great shot, Wanda! I don't expect to see baby robins at this time of the year. Love it!

    Thanks, Heidi. Ed says these guys are ready to fledge. The bird noises have been loud lately! WJ
