terry, I've been watching your thread and watching my own robin's nest at the same time. I didn't get any pics early on because I didn't want to disturb them. They were in a juniper at the corner of the house and the momma got so upset any time anybody got near. That's the only reason I knew the nest was there. There were 4 eggs. I never even looked when the babies were little. I figured they were ok because momma was going in and out with food. I looked in on them one day when I knew she was out and they were so big they barely fit. they didn't even flinch...just froze. Well, 2 days later when I peeked in they got startled and all 4 of them jumped out of the nest. Both the momma and daddy came in screaming at me. I felt so bad. By the next morning they had moved to the back of the house under some other junipers by my pool. They could fly a few feet. Momma was still mad at me and moved them back to the front again the next day. I haven't seen them in a couple of days, but they may have fledged by now. gram
