Our Robin

Our robin has laid 3 eggs.  It laid one on Thurs, one on Fri, and one on Sat last week.  According to Wikipedia, the eggs hatch in 14 days and the babies leave the nest 2 weeks later.  So hopefully this week we will be able to see some baby robins hatching.  The mother is being very faithful, she doesn't even fly away when Aaron is waving the curtains all around her nest.  Wikipedia says, "The American Robin does not shy away from nesting close to human habitation."  I guess that explains it!

Spring has sprung

A robin built her nest right outside our sliding glass door in our kitchen, and today she laid an egg!  We're trying to keep the curtains shut and the kids away from the window so we can watch the egg hatch.
