Shhhhh, Babies Sleeping
I checked on the robin’s nest today while mom was out hunting for food. It looks like 2 little ones are in there, who knows what happened to the third (or maybe it’s under the other 2).
Here’s the photo of the nest from July 8th.

New Hummingbird Feeders
My old hummingbird feeder started leaking nectar and after falling off the window several times the glass tube broke and is much shorter than is once was. I have been looking for a nice hummingbird feeder for while now, but it seems like they’re all pretty ugly (I’m not sure why they all need plastic yellow flowers on them?). I finally found a simple one at Best Nest. I bought 2 new iron hooks to hang them from. So far the hummingbirds prefer their old feeder better. I’m hoping they’ll start using the new ones soon!
Update – They do love the new feeders! I think they love that there are 2 feeders now. They often eat from the one on the side of the house and then fly to the one on the back of the house for seconds.

Baby Blues
Yesterday evening we spotted a nest in a pine tree. Looks like little robins will be around soon! The color of robin eggs is amazing, a beautiful shade of Tiffany blue. We’ll be keeping our eye on this nest and taking photos of the little birds as they grow up.
