Last night, either Mr. or Mrs. Robin brought home a juicy worm for the babies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Mrs. Robin snuck away this afternoon \u2013 to do a little worm hunting, I imagine \u2013 so I used that opportunity to sneak into the garage attic to check on the babies. As of yesterday, we had three babies and one unhatched egg.<\/p>\n

Today, I see three scrawny but growing nestlings \u2026 but no egg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I see three babies \u2026 and no egg? What happened to baby #4?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s possible that the egg is underneath one of the\u00a0baby birds. There\u2019s also the very real possibility that another bird stole the egg. I didn\u2019t see any shells in the yard but I\u2019m actually kind of afraid to look.<\/p>\n

And another surprise: I thought Mrs. Robin was on her own because I haven\u2019t yet seen a Mr. Robin hanging around. But darling husband, who is\u00a0just\u00a0as invested in this little birdy family as I am (he is the one, remember, who gave Mrs. Robin a helping hand with her nest building<\/a>), said yesterday he saw two robins alternating bringing worms and sitting on the nest. Mrs. Robin flew off the nest, Mr. Robin brought the worm, Mrs. Robin came back to feed the birds and sit on the nest. Not sure if they\u2019re a couple or have just negotiated an amicable parenting arrangement. But I\u2019m glad she\u2019s not by herself either way.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m on baby robin watch and will keep you posted! And if you\u2019ve missed any posts, you can follow along with Mrs. Robin and her eggs in these posts.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
