Baby Birds

We have enjoyed watching a robin lay her eggs in a nest that was against our house. We have watched them go from blue eggs, to new birds. Just this week they flew away. The reason that they flew away is because Anna and Dad got too close to the nest and scared them. Corbin spent the next hour trying to catch them in a ice cream bucket and yelling at Anna and Cole to keep Polly in the house so she did not eat them while he tried to put the birds back in the nest while dodging every robin, cardinal and swallow in the neighborhood doing kamakazis at his head. He was unsuccessful in his quest to keep the growing birds in their nests. (hope they survived) He got no lunch and had to go back to work, but Lori enjoyed the free entertainment.
