The Robins Are Taking Over...

We didn't have a very warm Spring this year so when we finally did get outside we realized that some Robins had moved into the play place!  After checking out the new nest we realized there were already eggs in it...being the animal lover that I am (well not really) I convinced Joel to not get rid of the nest and let the eggs hatch first!  Fast forward 1 1/2 months...well...it actually was a slow 1 1/2 months!  We pretty much were unable to be within 20 feet of the play place without birds swooping at us!  That meant no mowing the lawn in that area and no playing on the play place or even in that section of the yard for that matter!  Joel was not happy with me!  I am happy to report that three precious little Robins were born and have moved out of the nest!  It was really fun to watch the dad and mom work to get worms every day and then to see the babies leave the nest for the first few times!  Parker now has a slight obsession with Robins though!

We weren't able to mow that section of the lawn for quite some time!
