fine feathered friends

we would like to introduce our newest friends, courtesy of momma robin, who has chosen our home as her own for the past three years. each year, she carefully constructs a beautiful nest in one of the trees in our landscaping. this year, she chose the holly tree right outside our front door, so i have truly enjoyed trying to capture the perfect pics when she isn't looking! as you will see, momma robin is camera shy...and scared of my big dog, who has a hankering for busy birds. to date, the pics show the perfect blue eggs, the teeny, tiny, fuzzy birds, and yesterday, i caught feeding time! the babies make this very funny noise when they know momma robin is close by...oh so cute! the kids have all thoroughly enjoyed this "at home" nature lesson.
