On theme day I showed you this nest under construction. This morning when I stepped out to pick up my morning paper, I noticed that all but one of the babies had already flown away. I watched as this one gingerly left the nest and was perched for take-off. It left its comfortable home as Mama watched from a nearby tree. It's off on its first adventure. Good luck Little Robin!

How cool to have seen it's first flight! I wonder if the mama will lay a second batch here now.

I think it must be good luck to witness a young bird take its first flight.
ReplyDeleteThe lion is hardly happy with the mess in HIS location.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the story of the happy prince that I listened to as a child every Sunday and cried my eyes out.
ReplyDeleteOur Robins abandoned their two nest this year with unhatched eggs but last year we got to witnessed them fly too. Nice!
ReplyDelete"U" are invited to see the "U" at my page. Have a great evening.
