Robin Nest Update

Mother Nature is amazing! I checked on the Robin chicks today and I could not believe how different they look. These two images are only 4 days apart. They have gotten so much bigger. The nest is really crowded now and I am guessing they will fledge any day now.

They are a ways from fledging yet, they must have their tail feathers.

My understanding is that Robins fledge after 2 weeks and when they fledge they cannot yet fly. They spend days on the ground and then first flight.
