Way back in March 2004 I bought my first DSLR a few weeks before we took a family trip to Hawaii. On May 23 I happened to notice a new birds nest that had appeared in a tree about 10 feet outside one of our windows and the next day we began to see the robins that that had built it.

Over the course of the next four weeks we watched as the robins tended the nest and four babies hatched. Around June 11, four babies hatched and over the next two weeks we observed as they were fed and grew rapidly. June 23, 2004, exactly one month after we first noticed the nest, we watched as the four fledglings climbed out of the now very crowded space they had shared since birth and may their way into the sky.

I wonder how many of those or there offspring are still among the many robins that hang around our yard every year.
