I'm glad you were able to share the story, and even more glad you left the mother to tend to her babies. I was dive-bombed once as a child. I don't know what kind of bird it was, but I don't think I'll ever forget the experience!Elizabethhttp://grandmastreasures.blogdog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-63080456129698363782010-05-08T14:01:59.718-05:002010-05-08T14:01:59.718-05:00You've made the right decision to leave the ne...You've made the right decision to leave the nest alone Ratty.

It would act like it was injured or something in an attempt to lure us away from the bush that hid the nest. I wasn't aware that they would dive bomb humans. lucky for us this one did not attempt thatAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-39427604350869492082010-05-08T07:42:24.366-05:002010-05-08T07:42:24.366-05:00Absolutely wonderful photos here.

The female is slightly paler, that's about it. The above comment is right on, robins do share rearing duties and the male is a dedicated father. I'm certian either would defend the nest.<br /><br />That new camera is really paying off!

Mom sits it out until hatched and then both take turns with the feedings.A mature robin eats 20-30 feet of worms in a day so think what extras two need to catch for a nest full of babies.I haven't heard of any fatalities with the dive bombing, but they do let you know to not bother them.We had a red-winged blackbird nest along our drive for many years and it was routine to get dive- bombed.My dad said it was the reason for a bald spot, but the bird always came back. To attract robins all they need is a horizontal piece of board placed out and they will build on it.Follow Jean on the Joy of Birdwatching and Living Simple about nestlings and some fun bird pics and sites she shares.She is the lady sitting in a white chair on my followers of my blog.Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-68601001710618743542010-05-08T05:25:34.546-05:002010-05-08T05:25:34.546-05:00Oh that's a beautiful robin with food for her ...Oh that's a beautiful robin with food for her baby!
