I’ve watched a female robin tend to three hatchlings. Likely both parents fed these chicks. By yesterday, two chicks had fledged and only one remained in the nest. This last one stood up in the nest, waited a few hours, and finally took off. These shots were taken a short time before it fledged (t00k t0 the wing).
The robin chick has a spotted breast.
And has flecks on its wing feathers.
Amazing! They go from fluffy, kind of grumpy looking little guys to tailored and svelte!
Thanks for the photos, always, Alistair!
