Packed like sardines into the nest, the hatchlings keep cozy and warm. Their new feathers seemed to fluff out overnight. Mom and Dad feed them many times a day now, staying nearby to keep watchful eyes on them.

  Thank you, Christine! Today marked the beginning of a new chapter. Two of the baby robins have fledged. They are happily perched just inside the bower of clematis vines. :)
