Robins and Grackles




Not so long ago Mary discovered a robins nest while playing in the tree fort. There were three eggs in it. A day or so later she reported the mother must have laid another egg. Yesterday one of the babies hatched! I cannot believe they made their nest in that hub of activity. The father bird was scolding when I went up to take the last picture. Jacob discovered a Grackle nest in one of our cedar trees (thanks to Grant he identified it right away). He checks on it often. All those babies hatched. Jacob must thrive on being attacked by the parents because he loves checking on the nest and usually ends up getting chased around the yard and pecked!

The nest is just behind Mary! How awesome to watch God's creation like this.
