Robins, Robins everywhere, heck I even live with a Robin.
This will be the second nest of Robins that I have spotted this year and it is the second time I've entered this theme in a #SMaP contest. The bush in this picture is a Blueberry bush that is just a few steps from our front porch. For a week or more I observed Robins flying in and out of the bush. Being that the berries were not ripe yet I figured the birds weren't there to savor the wild fruit, and that thought was dead-on. With some probing, I was able to spot the nest
Here is what I found, a nest that was cradling two stunning light blue eggs.
With the Blueberry bush located alongside the driveway, I walk under the nest several times a day.
Well, yesterday I was startled when one of the newborn Robins, who must have been surprised as well, decided it was time to give flight a go. The baby bird was airborne just long enough to make it across the stone driveway, landing in the grass. I grabbed my camera and took a few pictures as the parents dove at me squawking the entire time.
The little fellow did pretty well, flying away every time I approached it, landing about 15 feet from where it took off.
This picture is the one I would like to be considered for this week's contest.
This morning I decided to check out the nest to see if the other baby Robin had also left.
Thank you @melinda010100 @barbara-orenya and @nelinoeva for another #featheredfriend adventure, #SMaP 174.
