American Robin Fledglings...cute overload!

They had a nest in our horse trailer this year. I stayed away from the nest to avoid upsetting the parents. In past years they've nested on a metal scaffolding leaning against our garage, in the front of a tractor, and on the frame of two different truck bodies. They started fledging as I walked past.

Landed in front of me in the road...

Then flew up onto a low branch...

An adult sounding the warning two days before they fledged...

Later in the evening, one chick sat on one side of the trailer, while another one sat on the other side. So cute!

Nice series, and hard not to smile at that last one!

Thank you Al, Jeff, Trevor, John, Peter and Mike. It was really cute to see a chick on each side of the trailer, basically in the same pose.
