The robins are busy collecting insects, caterpillars and worms. They are up at the break of day to began foraging, and they will work tirelessly until dusk to feed their babies. Both parents feed them and the nestling phase usually lasts around two weeks. It seems hard to believe that they grow up that fast and are ready to leave the nest. It won’t be long before we will see young robins with their speckled breasts chasing their parents and begging for food. Actually I saw a robin fledge yesterday evening. I’m getting ready to head out and see what’s happening this morning. See you out there!
