Empty Nesters

The babies have spread their wings and flown...at least a short distance:)
Baby robins:

Baby wren:
And a bird of a different feather.  I won this at MagicLoveCrow, my very own Vampire Crow.
Thanks, Stacy. Love it!

Baby birds grow up and fly away.
Vampire crow? Sounds like a new series.

I do enjoy birds. I had a robin's nest on my deck which had a couple of eggs, but one day when I came home they were on the ground. I am not sure what happened. I was so sad :(

Sweet babies all grown up. Sort of. Love the vampire crow

Fun to watch new fledges. I watch a number of nest boxes and so enjoy the babies.

Birgit said...

These birdies are just so cute and so happy to see these pictures of them. I am thinking he looks more like a Superman Crow with a slightly evil edge or maybe badass is better:)

Birds are so cute when they're young and still just a little fuzzy.

Marcie said...

We were just saying that we never see the baby robins around here. Always just full sized robins. Maybe we're just not looking closely enough!

Pat Hatt said...

They look ready to explore indeed. Who knew there could be vampire crows

Ann Summerville said...

I stopped by your blog today. Lovely pictures of the young ones exploring a new world.

New Series....Hmmm......

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Sarah. You too!

Sandra Cox said...

I empathize, True. It's stressful when they don't make it.

Sandra Cox said...

Young adults:)

Sandra Cox said...

They are fun to watch:) Little sweeties.

Sandra Cox said...

Badass crow....I like that too:)

Sandra Cox said...

Elizabeth Varadan, Author said...

Sweet pictures. And I love your vampire crow.

donna baker said...

I too have been watching the babies, both big and small.

Susan Kane said...

I've always wondered when parent birds know that exact time to give babies a push.

Sandra Cox said...

Ours built right on the eves of the house. But baby birds are cropping up from nests I've never seen.

Sandra Cox said...

You may never look at crows in the same way again, Pat:)

Thanks, Ann:)

Joanne Noragon said...

Good job, snapping a wren. They're too tiny and fast for me.

Sandra Cox said...

Aren't they something? I love the look on the little wrens face. Like...you got a problem?

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Elizabeth. Me too:)
Hope you're doing well.

Sandra Cox said...

I'm not sure if it's a push or free fall:)

Sandra Cox said...

Ha.

Sandra Cox said...

They were awfully cute:)

Sandra Cox said...

I only got lucky because this guy was at the hopping instead of flying stage:)

Anonymous said...

Terrific. Now begins their steep learning curve to adulthood.

Laura Beth said...

What sweet faces! Glad to hear they're out flying! :)

Magic Love Crow said...

Vamp looks very happy! LOL!
I love your baby bird pictures! Too cute! You captured them so well! I've been seeing many, but haven't got any pictures!
Big Hugs!

I love Badass Crow! Got me thinking! LOL!

Heather R. Holden said...

Aww! Those baby birds are so precious... ^_^

And LOL, love the vampire crow! So awesome. Congrats on the win!

Adam said...

We had a storage building once that had baby birds all in it. They were very tiny

Sandra Cox said...

And that's a tough spot to be in:)

Sandra Cox said...

The robin was pretty much flying. The wren was really good at hopping:)

Sandra Cox said...

I trust Vamp Crow likes his new digs:)

Sandra Cox said...

There ya go:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Heather;)

Sandra Cox said...

They are, aren't they? Minuscule little beings.

Jeanie said...

Oh I so hope I'll get to see my baby wrens in person! These are marvelous photos, Sandra! And how special to be chosen!

Incidentally, I also had robin this year at our new condo. I didn't get to see them left the nest, but I saw them later in the back yard..No tail, and all fuzzy :)
