It takes so little to fascinate me. Every day I have been taking a peek or two at the robin's nest in our spruce tree. I don't know much about robins, but this particular mama robin has chosen to construct her nest only about five feet off the ground. I've let my curiosity get the better of me a few times and have tried to take a peek while mama robin was roosting, thus scaring her away, but to my enormous relief she always returns. First there was one blue egg. Then there were three. Then four. And then... these.
So-ugly-they're-cute little fluffballs

Oooh how cute! I love it!
How lucky you are to be able to witness this so closely!
Of course, if I'd known about the nest when we were at your place the other day, I totally would have gone over and bothered the little tweeters. So probably a good thing I didn't know...
Ain't nature grand?
Love that color!
I am the same way with nature. You should name those babies. How many? Three?
Nice photos, Jen.
I know what mean about being fascinated by little things.
I feed a bunch of alley cats in neighborhood and I enjoy just watching them walking around.
Of course when they have brawl in my backyard at 3 AM, I get a little peeved...
I think there are four babies, Har, although I have only taken quick glances and snapshots so far. I'm afraid of either getting my eyes pecked out or scaring mama bird away permanently (lord knows I don't want to have to masticate and regurgitate worms for the little guys).
