Doin' the birdwalk..

For the last several weeks we have been watching a robin's nest which was strangely built about 4 feet from the ground in a crook of a tree. There were 4 blue eggs and soon they began hatching. We watched them alot on that day. The next morning one of them had falled out of the tree and was dead. The remaining three have grown by leaps and bounds. Here is a picture I took yesterday. Soon, they WILL be doing the bird walk and then they will fly away leaving an empty nest. Nature is truly a beautiful and complex thing.
