We almost had a bird-astrophe!! Thank goodness, Dave went out that door and found it! For some reason yesterday afternoon the wreath that the robins built their nest in fell down! We had baby birds under the spring seat on our porch - 2 of them! They're not ready to leave the nest yet, so they were just sitting there!! From the looks of things they'd been there for a while! Dave ran out to the garage and got some kind of twine and put the wreath back up. Then he started picking up the babies! One baby just chirped and chirped and mama then put up quite a commotion! Now that we had 2 of the babies back in the nest, we went looking for the third. We finally found it about 25 feet away - out in the lawn. All three babies are back in their nest and now we hope that mama doesn't abandon them because Dave touched them!
All of this happened just before Bob and Ann came to pick us up to go to Washington to watch Allison play ball. When we got back home at 10:30 or so, mama was sitting on the nest!! So all's well that ends well!!
