Wildlife Gardening: Robins nesting by deck (great photo op!), 1 by wind

Day 9 photo. The babies are getting strong, eyes open, big appetites and their feathers are developing. They eagerly stretch up with their beaks wide open even when parents aren't there. I'm now getting worried about when they fall out or jump out. On the one side is our concrete patio. I was thinking of laying down some plastic bags of weeds to cushion the fall just in case.

The baby sparrows (in the white hanging bird house opposite the robins) are just about ready to fledge too. Yesterday one had his entire body perched out of the hole with his little feet clinging on as if he was preparing to dive off the high dive ~ while one of his parents sat on the roof top watching :)
