<\/iframe><\/p>\nThis morning, I noticed that Mrs. Robin\u2019s babies were getting active\u00a0in the nest. Crowded, antsy, excited. So I\u00a0brought the camera outside and set it up on the tripod, just in case\u00a0anything exciting happened.<\/p>\nIt was only yesterday I noticed\u00a0one bird trying to perch on the side of the nest and I thought it\u00a0might be cute to watch them stretching and puffing up\u00a0their feathers.<\/p>\nWhat I didn\u2019t expect? That today was their last day in the nest.<\/p>\nPART ONE<\/strong>: This is how the morning started, the birds stretching and flapping, clumsy and off balance. I\u2019m not sure if the one\u00a0little robin actually knows how he ended up outside the nest. But he apparently liked it, because as the morning progressed he made more and more deliberate forays onto the window sill.<\/p>\nThe dog barking you hear midway through is Bailey barking at a cat on the other side of the fence. I love that the birds were on alert when they heard her. I hope they\u2019re as alert to the dangers that await them when the finally make it to the ground \u2013 including the cat and the dogs.<\/p>\nI expected to watch the birds stretch their wings, but I wasn\u2019t prepared for the progress they made today.\u00a0\u00a0Stay tuned for PART TWO.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/heavenlycreatures\/tag\/mrs-robin-and-her-eggs\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">And if you\u2019ve missed any posts about Mrs. Robin, you can see lots of photos here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This morning, I noticed that Mrs. Robin\u2019s babies were getting active\u00a0in the nest.
