It's Not Easy Being A Birdie

As my husband was getting ready to water the flowerbeds on Friday evening, he had to put his plans on hold as an American robin chick was comfortably resting on the hose reel cart. With the mom surveying the scene, we were able to snap pictures for 5-10 minutes, with the chick staying put - our initial thought was that he was injured and too weak...

Throughout the whole weekend, the chick and his mom have been around the house - the mom feeding the young one, and little one trying hard to master the secrets of flying. As of Sunday morning, what we thought was a desperate, sick chick at first is becoming a confident flying expert!

(hey buddy, whatcha doin' there?)

(we were able to get pretty close to it)

(that's one confident chick)

(who said learning how to fly was easy?)

(Mama Bird encouraging the young one)

From Quebec to BC, we had baby robins learning to fly in our yard this weekend as well. My daughter named them all when they set up shop in our garage so we had to go out and say goodbye to them.
