One day at the end of April, I went out to start the Jeep and the battery was dead. I popped the hood to try to jump start it and found a little next with beautiful blue robin eggs in it. I called the kids out and we decided the Jeep wasn't going anywhere until those baby birds hatched and took flight. Annalina looked it up and learned it would be about 2 weeks until they hatched. So we waited.
A couple days past two weeks I peeked and there were three sweet little baby birds all huddled together.
Here is what they looked like after a week and a half...
And this is what they looked like the last time I checked on them...
They have now flown away and we have cleaned all the remnants of the nest out of the engine compartment. I cannot believe how messy these little guys are! It was such a mess. But well worth it to get to observe them from eggs all the way until the left the nest. Nature is so much fun!
