Sure enough, two of our four robin eggs hatched this afternoon, with the fledglings still but fuzzy globs beside the two laggards. We hurried downstairs for a quick closeup look, Emily nervously keeping an eye on the mother robin a few yards away.
"She won't peck you, Emily, really, she's just concerned that we're getting too close, so we'll leave now."
Emily got a Flicker for her eighth birthday May 1 and brought it along today for a romp on the tarmac. |
