No more Mannins, we have baby robbins on our front porch. Next to their next is another nest their mother shoved aside to make herself a nest for her babies. The other nest belonged to a set of House Finches that have come 2 years in a row. Mom goes out for worms, returns, and vomits worm goo into their mouths. After 2 weeks, they are standing, stomping their feet and spreading their wings to fledge soon. I don't know what will happen when both Finches and Robbins both nestlings imprint on our house and try to return next spring. The house finches hatched the day we moved in last year (May 24), but came a whole month early this spring. I wonder if the robbins tossed them out? Right now I am enjoying a cup of Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong tea that John enjoyed 2 infusions from before returning to work to run more samples.
