A Cozy Home

A mommy Robin has decided to use one of the trees on our driveway as the new home for her eggs.  The nest is an intricate creation and we couldn't believe when Grandma discovered it that there were 4 beautiful blue eggs inside.  It became a waiting game and the best part is that it was like having National Geographic in our front yard.
One day we checked and there were cracks in the eggs and shortly after the four young birds arrived. We watched as they grew and soon didn't even fit into the nest.  Every day we checked in on them and were amazed at their development.  It was a sad day when we checked and they had obviously flown off.
To our surprise, mommy Robin laid another three eggs so we got to watch all over again.
