For the first time in 14 years, some robins nested in our backyard tree, right where we could easily see them from our back door. I spent the spring photographing the babies; in the nest, the day they left the nest, as they’ve grown independent…
There’s one who was slower to fly than her (?) brother. He took off into the tree tops, while she fluttered to lower branches, till she finally hit the ground and then hopped to the brush behind the garage.
I was just inches from her a lot of the day, taking pictures. We’re very happy to see she survived; both she and her brother still visit our bird baths. And she spends a lot of time hunting in our yard. In fact, she still lets us get very close without flying away. (She never was the best at flying.)
I can’t help thinking she’d be a perfect mate for Stupid!
If only I knew how, I’d like to compile all the pics and videos into a Robins Chronicles for youtube.
(As you might have guessed, I am still grandchild-less.)

I don’t see that it’s made any difference…

Déjà vu?
Isn’t that how Stupid entered the strip?

Yay! Stupid’s back!
(I assume he’s still got a front?!)

He has eyes in the back of his head now.

Well … looks like Stupid is now ready for his prostate exam.
