Feeding time for the American Robin nestlings
Four little necks go up in the air as soon as one of the parents approaches the nest with food in their bill. This time it was enough for all four of the chicks what the father had found for them. Both parents feed the offspring. With the warm weather this weekend and a little bit of rain ones in a while the conditions are pretty good for finding worms, caterpillars, and other insects. It is amazing how fast the young Robins grow within just a few days.
The nest is on a wooden supporting structure for the grape vine branches that grow above our balcony. No, we don’t have a lot of grapes but the leaves that just start to pop out provide nice shade during the summer and help to keep the house cool.
I shot this picture from below through the glass of the balcony window.
