I thought that was a rather large baby Robin when I saw her 2 days ago, but it was the mother Robin nesting her eggs. Bo said that there are 4 eggs in there, I only saw 2, and 4 is a strange number because I had only seen 3 eggs in the past.
This was at 7:30 this morning, the mother a father kept a watchful eyes over us. I think this one is the father, he has a darker and deeper color chest. The animal male specie is more beautiful than the female.
This one is the mommy Robin, she wasn’t happy when I went near her nest. I won’t go near it again until the eggs hatch.
It was difficult to get a clear shot, they were too far away.
Bo spotted a baby robin mommy Robin today, I’m sure there are 3 in there.
The nest is at the same bush as last year, but it has gotten a lot taller this year. While I was taking some pictures, the mother Robin was nearby.
Updated: August 15, 2009: The last baby Robin left the nest today, I was going to take some picture yesterday but the father and mother Robin were very aggressive and I didn’t want them to poke my eyeballs. I’m glad that this nest worked out for them, and I’m not sure what I am going to do with it yet, either remove it or fix it so it’ll be sturdy for the next nesting.
Updated August 13, 2009: Just yesterday, they were very little, but today it looks like they’re ready to spread their wings and fly. I’m happy to say that I saw all three baby Robins, but a bit crowded in there, especially when the nest is tilted sideways.
I had never seen a real life Hummingbird before, only in pictures or videos until I visited Bo’s friend’s horse stable. She has a hummingbird feed of water sugar and I sat there for a while before getting these pictures. It was late in the evening, so some of the pictures are not as clear and the Hummingbirds are super fast so it’s hard to capture them.
This is a nice video by John Reiser, there are several hummingbirds that patronize a feeder in his parents’ backyard. Filmed in the Pinelands of New Jersey.
I also found some interesting information about Hummingbird from Wikipedia. Hummingbirds are birds in the family Trochilidae, and are native to the Americas. They are among the smallest of birds. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12-90 times per second (depending on the species). They can also fly backwards, and are the only group of birds able to do so, it‘s very neat to see them in action.
