Last to Leave
Crepe myrtle trees in The Frog & PenguINN yard have hosted many nests over the years, most recently two robin nests.
This was the mama robin a couple of weeks ago — sitting and waiting . . .
And this was the last hatching ready to fledge and leave the nest, but in no hurry.

We didn't see any other nest-mates before they left and hope they fly off safely.

It's always fun to watch them grow and fly so quickly.
the babies are adorable and the mom and dad are splendid... great shots of the whole family
These are great pictures! Love the first one of the mother bird. :)
Cute birds!
Excellent shots! I love the collage of the indecisive youngun!
Beautiful captures of the sweet birds!
Great photos! I couldn't get close enough to get good ones of our Robin family. They made quite a racket when they were teaching the kids how to go out on their own though. So I heard them. All's quiet now.
The hatchling looks quite distinctive!
Been watching a family of jays in my backyard. Have some new bluebirds in the back forty. Have doves and robins out front, may have to pass out a few cigars for all those babies.
I have never, ever seen a robin fledgling. AWESOME catch light in the eye on the first pic. Great detail you captured!
That Mama Robin has a sweet face.
What a beautiful close-up of the mother robin. That is a fantastic picture. It must have been fun watching the little ones get ready to leave.
Great pix, Dorothy!!!!...:)JP
Great shots!
My yard is full of noisy fledglings begging to be fed!
