Worms.....


It might be obvious that robin watching has become one of my favorite past times. I walk to the front door several times a day to see what they are doing. This morning I caught one attacking a worm. You can hear my neglectful parenting in the background (I don't know how to cut the sound out).




Here is a video that makes the fecal sack a little more obvious and disgusting.
Bottoms up.




Picture from Sunday

Picture from today. They are making quite a mess.

Gross. I'm pretty sure if I was a robin, I would not reproduce if I knew that swallowing my babies' poop was part of the responsibilities. I'm intrigued tho. More feces videos, please!

(With apologies to the original author in changing the robin's name)...

Twinkle the robin knew what to do
Before her eggs she'd lay
She had to build a brand new nest,
There was no time for play.

She searched for just the perfect twig
And yarn, so warm and soft.
She plucked a thread from a bright green coat
And carried it aloft.

Each day she brought her treasures back
And placed them one by one.
And when the nest was nice and strong.
She rested in the sun.

Wow, some of those pics are like National Geographic quality.
