Mama Robin Feeding Her Babies

I have been working at the Senioa Garden Center this Spring. I have absolutely loved working there. A few weeks ago a Mama Robin was frantically looking for a place to make her nest. She kept on going from hanging basket to hanging basket. Well Janine the owner said to just give her one. So she finished her nest in a lovely pink Petunia basket. So we watered all the plants and hanging baskets around her and left hers alone. She was there every day watching over her eggs. I think she got used to us being around.


Here is a picture of the Pergola and area where her nest is hanging. You can see the other plants and hanging baskets are thriving and living just fine. Some customers would tell us to water it and didn't notice Mama Robin there. 


A couple days ago I finally noticed Babies Birds had hatched and Mama Bird was feeding them. The only camera I had was my cell phone. So I was able to zoom in and take these precious photos. They are priceless to me. She kept flying off and bringing more worms to them. So sweet a and special and I was happy to capture that moment in time.
