Alabama:
The first baby left the nest today. The fledgling is being fed and cared
for by the male robin while the female robin focuses on the other three
babies that are still in the nest.
- Georgia:
Two robin fledglings, parent still feeding. Have been up on front steps
of house and on railing most of day. Then they fly down to ground and
hop or fly back on steps or railing.
- Oklahoma:
Mother robin worked for the past 10 days building her nest. She started
sitting in the nest today.

today, a clear sign of nest building is underway.

The first nest building is complete. Now waiting for the eggs.
