A few weeks ago we discovered, quite by accident, that a robin had a nest in a bush by our front porch.  The baby birds were pretty old at that point, though still being fed by their mother.  I took some pictures, trying to intimidate them as little as possible.

There were 3 of them in the nest, though you can only see 2 of them in these pictures:

The mama was watching me from a safe distance:

I discovered that we could see them through a living room window, and they didn’t see us, so they’d be more lively (and the mother would come to feed them).  Unfortunately, taking pictures through the window didn’t work so well.

About a week after the photos were taken, I found the nest empty.  I’m guessing they all learned to fly and went about growing up.
