Robins

Only a short while ago, mom noticed a birds nest being built on the front porch light of our house…

It’s been fun watching how the robins have added to the nest.

Now we get to see Mommy Robin sitting on it, both the parents tending to it, keeping watch and fussing at us as we leave through our front door.

Here, one of the parents sits on a nearby tree branch, keeping a sharp watch.

Stay, little cheerful Robin! stay,
And at my easement sing,
Though it should prove a farewell lay
And this our parting spring.
. . . .
Then, little Bird, this boon confer,
Come, and my requiem sing,
Nor fail to be the harbinger
Of everlasting spring.
– William Wordsworth
