I've been getting more sneaky in my picture taking tactics *grin*
This evening after everyone was in bed I stood super close to the wall beside the kitchen window with only my hand and camera extended in front of the window waiting perfectly still for Mama Robin to return with a worm for her babies :) Well the strain in my arm from holding it up that way for nearly 7 minutes paid off! One of the parents landed on the planter and immediately all 3 babies went into 'feed me' mode and I was able to snap away unnoticed :)
They will be 6 days old tomorrow and have now graduated from the regurgitated worms that they started out with. Mama & Papa have been bringing larger pieces of worm that they have been breaking into bite sized pieces for them to eat. Just imagine how many worms are devoured during the summer hatchling season!
Uh oh, I think I've been spotted! Time to retreat slowly so they can continue with lunch :) If you're new to my blog make sure you check out the rest of our Robin baby chronicles by clicking on the 'Robin Nest Updates' button on my left sidebar or by clicking HERE.
I was just doing a little blog hopping and happened upon your blog. That is an amazing photo!! How fun! And, I love the bird sounds on your blog. It was so peaceful! - Jilann
