Sweet Robin Red Breast

   Look who showed up in our front yard today.  Isn't he precious?  I was pruning some bushes and heard something peeping.  At first glance I thought it was a Mama bird, but this little guy didn't fly away as I got closer.  He was crying for help, I believe, and I wanted so badly to help him!  We are currently studying birds and it states that if you find a bird you should leave it alone.  This is for the best.  As a child, I found a little bird and sadly it had a heart attack when people got involved.:(  So, I took a quick picture and spoke quietly to the little fellow.  He just looked at me and blinked.  Bless his little heart.  Well, the girls and I watched him from the front door for a minute, but then we were off and running to gymnastics.  We didn't get home until hours later and he had vanished.  I hope he is snug in his little nest tonight.:-)

  1. Parker and I were listening to bird sounds this morning http://www.naturesound.com/birds/birds.html the first option is a robin.

    I love robins, not only is my brother named Robin after Christopher Robin, but they are such happy birds and bring back memories of my childhood.
