Thanks to all who replied.  Unfortunately my little nest of robins did not make 
it.  I spotted a bird Friday evening that was spending a lot of time around the 
garage and it eased my mind.  I left town Friday and immediately checked the 
nest when I arrived home just a few minutes ago.  No adult birds were present 
at the nest or in the yard.  All four babies were dead.  

I do not know what killed the adult on Friday.  I have a feeling that the 
second bird may have met the same fate as I found a few feathers that appear to 
be those of a robin.  

Momma and papa birds get very busy feeding and sometimes let their guard down.  
It is sad to see this family destroyed before they even left the nest.
