New Life

Last week while sitting with my mother on her patio, I discovered this mother robin sitting on her nest.
Yesterday to our surprise her 4 little babes had been hatched. What a treat to see them stretching their necks hoping for nourishment....
Mama took a break to attempt to cover them and protect them from the intruder - even tho I was 15' away.... mom's know best!
Back to feeding - mama puts her beak and food right into her little ones mouth - no messy eating here. Several of the residents came out to watch the entertainment God provided for us. It was an uplifting experience for all of us.

So fun to watch nature in action. Great picture of the whole process. You new camera must have a very good zoom action.
