Announcing our new arrival.....

Two weeks after the first egg appeared, the first baby bird hatched in the nest outside Jacob's window. We've been checking every day, but hadn't noticed a thing...until this morning after church. Jacob looked out the window and noticed a "naked" baby bird. I have to admit that I think it's pretty ugly and creepy right now. It's all pink with just a few tiny feathers poking out of it's back. Mama Robin has become quite protective of her new baby and got a little irritated at us peeking out the window at them, so we are leaving her alone for now. The eggs appeared over a span of 2 days, so I'm sure the other eggs will be hatching soon. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, here's a picture of the new arrival. I apologize for the quality of the photo...it was taken through Jacob's window....I just didn't think Mama would be too happy if I went and poked my camera into her nest from the outside. Can you see it all cuddled up with its brother and sister eggs?
