Feathering Out........


The four eggs that hatched into birds are not wasting any time in their development.  Fur to feathers and they will soon be out of the nest.  I think they have a 10 to 14 day turnover once hatched to leave the nest.  I haven't seen any feeding going on but the parents are busy hunting for food.  I will mow near the nest today and the robins will be out in the yard looking for the worms and bugs that are exposed because of the mower.
