Rainy Day Surprises

It’s a crappy day out today. The wind is blowing, it is cold and rainy. So of course I choose today as a day that I want to go out and take a walk. Halfway through, the little one decides to join me. There’s not much to see so I ask her if she wants to check the nests. It’s been a couple days since I looked. 

First we went searching for the old nest..the horned lark’s nest with the three eggs left. But after a few minutes of searching, I couldn’t find it. Maybe it finally got destroyed. 

We decide to go check in on the robin’s nest. As we walk, she tells me that she hasn’t seen the robin’s nest but she knows the eggs are blue. But when we get there, we don’t see any blue! 


I couldn’t believe it, all four eggs hatched into squirming pink chicks! We only stayed long enough to get a picture and a short video then we left. It started raining and I could hear Mama chirping in the background.


I figure I better leave them alone for a bit now. I know, I’ve said that before. I wasn’t even going to check today but I’m glad I did.
