Baby Birds



We were so lucky this year to have a robin nest in the tree in our front yard. My kids were the first to discover it. We watched as the mother robin sat on her eggs and Carter told me when he first noticed the baby birds. As I went outside with him to check it out, the mother bird flew into the tree at that moment with a beak full of worms. We heard the babies chirp eagerly to be fed and saw as their little beaks were filled with food. Carter said "It's a miracle". I was glad I was able to share that little miracle with him. Those four little babies grew so fast and before we knew it, the nest was empty. Isn't nature wonderful?
