Baby Robin

It's been about a week now since we discovered baby robins in a nest at our house in Lake Almanor. The nest was built when we were not here in a spot way too obvious. It is in a evergreen bush right next to the walk in to the front door. The nest is at eye height. I have been like a nervous parent monitoring their progress on a daily basis, and trying not to interrupt the visits from Mom with food for her chicks. There are now two as one didn't make it and was removed from the nest, assuming by the Mom. I hear them peeping every morning at around daybreak. It is a reassuring sign that all is well. I am hoping that Mom will take good care of them and they will be out of their nest and on their own soon.
