Spring In Wisconsin: Robin Watch Day 5
Five-day old hatchlings are now clearly showing signs of feathers growing in. They have about filled the nest, meaning they are perhaps three or four times the body mass they were when they hatched less than a week ago. Their two parents – I can’t tell who is Mom and who is Dad – have pretty much a full time job going back and forth to feed them. However, I suppose because of our relatively cool weather right now (in the 50’s this morning) most of the time when I examine the nest they have heads buried under each other.
