Once the baby robins were over their shock of leaving egg-dom, they began leaving their beaks up in the eternal "feed me" position.

We noticed that sometimes the babies had enough energy to get their heads up and over the nest wall. Lucky for us, they sometimes didn't have enough energy to hunker back down, so we were able to get more pics! They weren't old enough to open their eyes, and they had very little feathering (or skin-covering of any kind).

Below is the picture from this morning, about 7 days after hatching. They've opened their eyes, they're replacing their initial downy coat with feathers, and they're beginning to look a bit crowded.

We estimate that they'll fly off within another week or so.
