THE BIRDS HAVE LEFT THE NEST!

THIS SPRING WE FOUND A NEST WITH THREE BLUE EGGS IN A TREE IN OUR FRONT YARD AND HAVE BEEN WATCHING IT EVER SINCE.   WE WATCHED AS OUR MOTHER ROBIN PATIENTLY SAT ON THESE CUTE LITTLE BLUE EGGS WAITING FOR THE DAY OF THEIR ARRIVAL.  THEN WE WATCHED AS OUR LITTLE BIRDS WENT FROM FUZZY LITTLE BODIES WITH BIG BEAKS TO LITTLE BIRDS WITH  FEATHERS.  WE WATCHED AS OUR MOTHER ROBIN SPENT ONE DAY FEVEROUSLY FEEDING HER BABIES WITHOUT TAKING A BREAK. AND THEN TODAY AS WE PEEKED INTO THE NEST WE FOUND THEY HAD ALL LEFT.  WE KNEW THIS DAY WOULD FINALLY COME, BUT WAS SUPRISED HOW QUICKLY THEY WENT FROM EGGS TO FLIGHT.  TODAY, AS WE WATCHED WE NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE BABY BIRDS WAS PERCHED IN A BRANCH AT THE TOP OF THE TREE AND THEN OUR MOTHER ROBIN CAME BACK TO THE TREE WITH A WORM IN HER MOUTH AND FED HER BABY RIGHT ON THE BRANCH.  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH.  MY GUESS IS THAT THIS LITTLE BIRD IS THE LAST ONE TO LEAVE.  MAYBE NOT QUITE READY TO CUT THE APRON STRINGS AND NEEDS MOMMY FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.
I DONT KNOW IF WE WILL EVER SEE OUR FAMILY AGAIN, BUT I DO KNOW THAT NOTHING CAN BEAT WATCHING MOTHER NATURE IN ITS PUREST FORM.
