[birdky] Robin's Nest photos

I am really excited about the babies in the American Robin's nest (right outside my bedroom window).  I can see the little beaks perk up when a parent comes to feed them.  I counted three.  There is something so special about these three tiny lives...  it just touches my soul to see them.
 
I check on them all the time and had a few close calls where my heart was aching!!  Once when it stormed extremely bad, I kept peeking out to make sure the nest was secure.  Poor Momma was using her wings to "umbrella" the nest and just taking a beating from the hail.  I wanted to go out there with an umbrella myself and help her out, but knew she wouldn't understand and that I would frighten her.  Another time a bunch of Grackles were flying around and Poppa bird was fighting them off.  I ran to check the nest to make sure the eggs were OK  (then unhatched) and there sat Momma bird protecting them.  That time I had to get involved and went out and helped Poppa tell those Grackles where to go!!!
