It's springtime and birds are coming back to Wisconsin!

Two years ago while working I discovered a birds nest with four baby robins in it!

From May 9th to May 19th of 2014 I photographed them and their mother every day. I missed seeing them hatching by just a few days I believe.

Momma robin was not pleased with me and let me know it! I tried not to disturb them at all but the mother would come back, see me and go crazy! The slightest noise and the little guys would open their mouths looking for food.

I shot 409 images and trimmed it down to these 33 pictures.

It is very interesting to see the rapid development of these guys in just ten days! After the ten days, the nest was empty and they were gone. Never saw them again.

I wonder if they are still alive and flying. It's a tough world we live in.

Enjoy a look at  these ten days.

Thanks,
