Two baby Dove and four baby Robin eggs. Can you believe the color of the Robin eggs. I am amazed!
The eggs cracked and birds hatched. The mothers are protective so we had to be very "covert" to get these shots.
The Dove are much more attractive at this point and have just about outgrown their "condo" on the door. The Robins on the window ledge are well guarded, pictures are hard to get. These Robin babies are pretty ugly right now...as you can see.

what shots! Wow. The eggs are so much brighter than I would have expected. So much for "Robin egg blue" paint chips!
Love it!
Really cool that you've been able to watch the whole progress. Have you seen any unwanted guests (snakes)?
My in-laws had a nest above their front door area that was about 10-12' up. The mom tried to teach the babies to fly and they were flopping onto the concrete below. My father-in-law saw what was happening and moved a large pot below the nest to soften the landing. I remember that at least one baby died. The nest was removed once the birds moved out.
