Spring comes to Wisconsin (part I)
Right outside my backdoor is a light fixture. Hasn’t worked for a number of years, doesn’t seem to feel like a priority to fix it right now. Just as well – a pair of robins have decided this is a great spot to raise their children. Sheltered from the rain, relatively protected from predators. The only real disadvantage seems to be these pesky humans who will keep coming in and out of the door below.
Anyway, watching these eggs turn into birds and fly away in more or less real time seems like a fun thing to break up the monotony of words for a while. So here’s what the nest looks like on this date – May 19, 2009, at 9:45 am CDT.
Stay tuned!
[Maybe we'll hook up a webcam... wouldn't that be fun?]
